The library at brickfilms.com has some decent sounds.
What kind of walking do you need? Gritty footsteps? LEGO stud clicks? Walking on a concrete floor with echoes? Muffled walking on carpet? There are many different footstep sounds, so it might help if you were a bit more specific. 
I've been using bass drums from drum machines.
Well, do you have access to a place with a metallic floor? If you do, then you can just record the sound of you walking around at the pace you need. I'd recommend filming the shot first, and playing it back while you walk to make sure to get the timing correct. If you can't bring your computer there, then you could get a digital voice recorder. They're simple and some can be pretty high-quality if you look around. If that's not an option, then you can always resort to your phone. Don't use the stock sound recorder, though. I'm not sure about iPhones, but on Android there's a neat little app that lets you record audio at CD quality.
For a metallic sound, sample one of the percussion sounds at the beginning of Kraftwerk's song "Hall of Mirrors" (1977).
I meant to post as soon as I found them, but it's been a crazy week for me. 
I was able to find the sound effects I needed here: http://www.soundjay.com/footsteps-1.html
