First, hopefully you have LARGE flat pedals. With those boats of yours you need them. Then, any good walking shoe will work. I DO find that a 'tready' sole is beneficial and settles into the pegs well. By that I mean a shoe with some real topography to the sole, not just a flat smooth sole like a boat shoe. I have also stopped riding on the balls of my feet. I've learned to move my feet an inch or so forward on the pedals.I need to find affordable, size 14, cycling shoes that I can walk in. Guess that is a mountain bike shoe??
Having trouble keeping my prosthesis on the pedal so I would like to try clipping in.
Tried that and failed. With Race Face - Chester pedals. Once my foot comes off I have to stop a put it back. My prosthesis is basically a hinge so no control from thigh down.First, hopefully you have LARGE flat pedals. With those boats of yours you need them. Then, any good walking shoe will work.

I have the cleat that mounts in the two holes and pedals. The size 14 is tough especially in a walkable shoe.You need a 2 hole SPD shoe which is primarily considered an MTB shoe but is used by many road riders for the very reason you state, ie walking. Lots of options in shoes and pedals including ones where you clip in on both sides or just one and the other side is a flat pedal.
i believe OP is looking for shoes to clip in?My experience is there's really nothing to match Adidas FiveTen Freerider Pro shoes. These are the most respected MTB shoes for platform pedals. Regarding their capability for walking: You can absolutely walk in them, although a little bit "stiffer". The 510s are not affordable though.
On the other hand, good platform pedals such as Race Face Chester or CrankBrothers Stamp 1 can do with regular trainers. Although I'm typically riding 510s with Stamp 1 or 7 pedals, it happens to me to ride in regular Adidas or Skechers trainers with no issues. And of course walking in trainers is perfect.
Why should he, especially with a prosthesis? Platform pedals with good MTB shoes hold feet on pedals as good as the clipless. The benefit is you can change your feet position on pedals, and it is very hard to fall with the bike (that might happen with clipped shoes). The OP seems to be unaware what platform pedals and MTB shoes can do for him.i believe OP is looking for shoes to clip in?

i believe he stated why! but i have no first hand experience with a prosthetic, assuming he knows more than i.Why should he, especially with a prosthesis?

Stefan check post #3. I have that now. Cannot seem to resist pulling up on the pedal like i do on my trike.

I kind of do. Since I have pedals and cleats, all I need is shoes to try it. And if getting out is an issue I can go magnetic.i believe OP is looking for shoes to clip in?
