The last long tour I did, about 1500 miles round britain camping, I decided on walking shoes and flat pedals with straps. I wanted to be mobile in case anything went wrong with the bike, and also just to be able to dump the bike and walk off road up mountains if I felt like it (which I did). I didn't want the weight of an extra pair of shoes. They are also much more comfortable, cusioning your foot. I have found cycling shoes can start to give me pins and needles after a long time.
