I ride my mountain bike on the city streets more than I do the dirt. There are so many holes and wide cracks and debris on the road; it is more comfortable. Thus I use platform pedals. I was pretty excited to see these. From a reputable company that has been around awhile. I wear normal sneakers with these. Lately Merrill Nova 2 Trail runners. They seem to work just fine with these pedals. The camo is a great look. There are hard plastics bumps and grippy rubber bumps. All good. Double-sided of course.
Finally, a multi-purpose gravel/trail/road pedal that works with ANY shoe. Grippy enough for light-intermediate mountain biking, comfy enough for road biking. I've been waiting for a pedal that can do it all without using sharp pins and this is it. Your shins, commuter pants and sneakers are safe. I couldn't be happier. To be fair they aren't ultimate grip downhill pedals but aren't meant to be.
My number 1 requirement for a flat pedal was for my shoes to not slide off the them. These do a great job of that. I'd give them 5 stars if it weren't for their weight. All in all I'm very happy with them since I knew how much they weighed prior to purchasing them, so that was no surprise.
One of the best conventional pedal alternatives I've used. You get great grip without needing to rely on a clipless or pinned pedal setup. That means no special shoes and less painful consequences to shin strikes. While the grip isn't the same as what you'd get from a traditional dedicated MTB pedal and shoe pairing it's more than up to the task for more mellow rides. When riding more intense trails I still use my SPD pedals and shoes, but when I'm riding with my kid or around town these are my go to pedals.
I bought these for my wife's bike. They're a great improvement over the stock pedals. The short pegs improve grip on her shoes and the overall size of the platform helps her feel more secure on the pedal. The price seemed a little high for platform pedals, but now that they're on the bike - they're worth every penny.
I bought this for an e-bike, which I do not pedal much, for their large stable platform. They feel great on the feet. Without the usual center post and edges they are really comfy to stand on and move around on in regular shoes with no shank! I would recommend these.
Pleased with the Look platform pedals. Can move the ball of my foot where I want it easily.
I bought these for a commuting bike (Specialize Turbo Vado). The soft rubber is very non-slip, and the spikes in middle seem to help in addition but are not overly tall so I don't notice them much. Much better than pedals that came with bike. Reflectors are a nice extra for commuters. I have not tried them in wet weather yet, but I expect them to perform well.
They are good looking and grip well. Great for people who can't clip in. I have bot bumps and no bumps and like them both.
pedal review, these pedals will make a difference. Possible not enough "through-ness"
