    Due to my recent foot injury (fractured 1st, 2nd and 3rd metatarsals), I am not going to be able to use clipless pedals for a while, and if I can find a good platform pedal I like, I may not go back to clipless at all.

    I am leaning toward one of Knotted's suggestions, the MKS Grip King lambda, mainly because it has a longer base which seems like would be better for a healing foot (?). I also want to avoid the ones with the ridged edges because I know I would end up scraping my shins all the time.

    Does anyone have any input on whether this would be a good choice for someone who has had a foot injury like mine?

    I also just found out about the Ergon PC2 that Sundial was going to try, and I'm really interested in those as well. They have a grippy surface material rather than spikes, which appeals to me. Anyone tried them yet?

    I talked to my LBS via phone, and they would order something for me, but seem to only be familiar with Wellgo and eleven81. They would probably order whatever I wanted, though.
