I've had feet slip of of this kinda platform pedal. They're tough to keep the feet on in the rain.
These are a lot better - it's almost like being clipped in with a new pair of Vans, or trail runners, but one pair of mine are getting worn out. Might splurge for some replaceable pin pedals when I decide they're too slippery.
Finally, if you're doing at least slightly spirited riding, keeping your feet on these in the rain, without clips and straps would require some magic incantation.
