    Is there a difference between when you would use "σιγά" versus "αργά"?

      No, they have the same meaning!

      I know that αργά also means late. I assume that σιγά only means slowly. Is it true?

        Σιγά also means quietly,softly,silently. Μιλάει σιγά/σιγανά=he speaks quietly,softly. Σιγά! also means "Big deal!", "No way!", "As if!"

        Isn't " He walks slow " a possible translation ?
