Wanted to post a quick follow-up to say how much I LOVE these pedals. Having used toe clips my entire adult life, it felt a little weird to go without, but now that I've adapted to these new pedals, I am a platform pedal convert.
I now experience zero foot fatigue, and where I once would get some slight knee pain after a long ride, there is absolutely no knee pain now. I love being able to wear any old shoe and still be able to pedal efficiently (the wide platform seems to serve the same purpose as a stiff-soled shoe).
Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em. And thanks again to everyone for the helpful tips and advice.

So you're still with the Wellgo's you mentioned? Sounds like a good choice. My DH has similar pedals on his commuter and limes them a lot.

Yes, the cheapie Wellgo B087's. They don't spin too freely, but I'm hoping the bearings will smooth out when they get a few more miles on them (I've put about 100 miles on them so far). If they don't, I may upgrade, but even the way they are, I love 'em.

Glad to hear these are working for you! I really do like BMX pedals, but I have knee problems if I am not attached to my bike so have moved to Frogs which have made a world of difference. The important bit is what you and your knees like
