I use rivendell grip king pedals on my touring/commuter. They are very comfortable but get slippery in the rain. I installed some pedal spikes (sold by rivendell) and that pretty well cured the problem with slipping in the rain. I like having the freedom to wear just about kind of shoe for riding. I've never had any problem with hot foot using these pedals. Note that my positive experience is for commuting/touring where my speeds will range from 10-16 mph. I still use clipless pedals on my light road bike for club rides where the speeds are 18-20 mph.
