If you are not going to go clipless, you could consider the MKS GR-10 Alloy Road Pedals

with Velo Orange Chrome Plated Steel 70mm Deep Half Bicycle Clips


Together, you can orient your foot as appropriate/needed, get retention benefits, and have a larger platform/more ball of the foot support than with the MKS Touring Pedals suggested above. I have a pair of these GR-10s and I've never gotten hot foot with them.

If you look around you can get both pedals and toe clips for around $50 shipped to you.
