Buy a pedal wrench..

I find Ergon pedals a fine thing, they are a platform, contoured to center your foot.
but the traction is a patch (skateboard deck stuff) in the center,
not spikes around the edges, so no wounds from the foot slipping off the pedal..

they fit with an 8mm allen wrench. huge reflectors to be seen ..

narrower ? foot hanging off the sides ?

FWIW you can get a Winwood Deckster , it is of like aluminum deck plate.
has the Spud cleat that comes with the pedal, screwed to it.
then It becomes a platform on any SPD compatible pedal.
