Those are test ride pedals. They probably won't hold up to daily riding.
These should though: https://www.winwoodbike.com/pedal.html

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Easiest one to ride without being clipped in is, by far, the Mallet. Even the Quattro is somewhat usable if you're not going far and not trying to pedal hard, but the Mallet has the biggest & grippiest platform.

This came up in the MTB forum:

The pedals are Crank Bro's Mallets.

See? They pop right off, just in time to step down at a stoplight...

For reasons known only to Crank Bro's, some of the eggbeater models do not come with standard 15mm wrench flats. I know the eggbeater SL doesn't. If you have ever tried to take a pedal off, using an 8 mm allen wrench, coming at the pedal from behind, you know how incredibly stupid this is.

Why? If you can't get a pedal off with an 8mm wrench, then you put it on wrong.

It's actually a 6mm wrench, and you would need a cheater bar to get the same leverage on that as with a pedal wrench, and you have limited leverage options since the wrench hits the chainstays. I'm not saying it's ever impossible, but it can definitely be more difficult than it would be with wrench flats.

The task is made far more difficult if they don't have 15mm wrench flats.
Since I teach physics I am qualified to say this: You need to review your high school physics. The chapters on levers and mechanical advantage

I got the Mallets for that purpose on my utility bike. They seem like they would work for a few miles as platforms, but they rub a lot of sole on my casual clipless shoes. The cleats come with shims, but they make the cleat scrape the ground. I took off the grip plates and it works better - hopefully that doesn't make them too slick as platforms.

Next time try
1 - Better quality tools
2 - Penetrating oil
3 - Properly maintaining your equipment
Then again, you know what they say, those that can't...........

Thanks slim. With degrees in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering along with 20+ years of application I think I can figure it out.

That cliche is unfair to teachers as are a lot of thing that are said (and done) to them by kids and parents and society.
You missed the smilie and decided to attack a profession. Nice.
My original point is still valid... not including 15mm wrench flats...is stupid.

This isn't a magicaly utopian world where bikes are assembled correctly and people take care of their stuff. In the real world, many bikes come in for repair with anything that can be seized, will be seized. And anything that can be crossthreaded, will be crossthreaded.

Go ahead and finish it ..... teach.... I've only been teaching for 10 years and I'm 58 years old. I was a working engineer before that. But even if that were not the case:
