    I have been using Shimano 105s since I started cycling. I haven't used platform pedals since I was a kid. Now that I have Muirenn's old steel Miyata (which I adore), I've got a bike with platforms. I have considered going clipless, but as I am using the bike for commuting... well, I don't want to have to take another pair of shoes with me.

    Problem is, I've tried about three kinds of platforms so far and none of them are "comfortable". My foot always slips forward and I'm pedaling with my arch and not the ball of my foot. Very uncomfortable. Is there is good gripping pedal out there that sticks to tennies and flats? Also, style points count

    Thanks in advance!
    Have you considered using mini toe clips? I'm wondering if they might help if you can get them in the right size so your foot stays positioned properly.
