That is my solution as well. I have a pair of mountain bike pedals with the pins and they stick very well to my shoe. I can pull back and up with my foot on the upstroke and the foot won't slip. I usually don't do that of course, I'm just touring, not racing. The platform pedal disperses the pressure over a larger area so you are less apt to have pressure related issues. I did one tour wearing Crocs with no problems.
