If it's part of a pedestrian area, I'd tend to use highway=pedestrian, and keep highway=footway for foot-ways that join car streets. I think the key question is whether there's a clear difference between the "car street" and the "foot way". If the only difference is that this one is a bit narrower than the other, with no real difference in the legal situation, it's probably better to give them the same tag. You can draw the larger pedestrianised streets as areas, to distinguish them from narrower ones (though please draw the area in addition to a connected-up way, otherwise you generate all sorts of mess for data users).
