I ride in a pair of SPD shoes with recessed cleats that are good to walk in, but I agree about off the bike clothing. I take a pair of long Exofficio pants that are 0.6lbs and my smartwool long sleeve T-shirts look fine off the bike. I also have a long sleeve buttoned shirt. Shoes are an issue, but I've found that rubber soled Tai-Chi/Kung fu shoes are good for off the bike activities and going to the shower blocks.
