Personally I think in the long run (pun intended!) walking is better for you anyway. I've known too many runners that injure a hip and end up walking in the long run. I walk really fast and have no injuries at all, no strain on knees, and I don't look like I'm killing myself. Honestly I see people running here in the mountains and they look miserable. I'll take a nice fast walk any day. And running barefoot - well maybe on the beach. I'd hate to see the tough feet of the people that do run like this on the street. They'd need a pedi for sure at the end of the week.
