Where to get Large pedals for big feet?
My son is only 13 but has a size 14/15 foot.
Just a simple pair of durable standard pedals for his Hybrid.
I took the old cages off as his foot does fitin them and the standard pedals are a bit
lilliputin to his foot.
Oh yeah as he usually wears sneakers a good grip would help.
thoughts?

If platform pedals will satisfy, ask at your LBS for downhill pedals. The ones I had were the size of a personal pizza and had nifty little adjustable pegs in them to grab your shoes.

I wear size 16 shoes. I use BulletProof platform pedals, the ones with the cleats on them, and I never had an issue with slippage. $30.00 LINK

+1 on platform pedals.
My son is size 13, I wear size 14. The pins hook up really well with whatever tread you have on your shoe.

These are kind of pricey, but very, very large:

Width in the middle is far more important I've learned then length, the pedals Jeff posted wouldn't work very well IMO. BMX/Downhill pedals are the way to go though, try and find one that is fairly light and wide, with replaceable pegs. Having a shoe with a narrower outsole is a plus on being able to squeeze on most pedals. On a side note, a lot of BMX/downhill platform pedals can weigh a ton, try and avoid those.

Rivendell has a "Sneaker " pedal which they say is wider than the
Grip King Pedal in the photo, a bit less money also.
I think I will measure the pedal on the bike this weekend and that
will give me a better idea what we will gain here.
Clipless is not the answer, yet. Besides by the time I get him the
Shoe $150-250 for Sidi Mega and he may out grow them in a weekend
and Pedals $50-100. This is the best place to start.
Hey he simply wants to ride about, when we start to get to where he wants to ride more than 5 miles in a day, I can upgrade
