I have these pedals too, but not on my commuting bike. I had them for a few months and love them. They are very narrow and small compared to most pinned platforms, but are light and grip well. They were pretty stiff out of the box so I had to lube them a little. On my commuting bike I have wider pedals with longer pins that work better when wearing boots. So yes, studded pedals make a remarkable difference or non studded platform pedals, especially when it's wet.
