Love them. I had them for a short time (1 month) and my experience with them is flawless.

Advantages:
- Capable to hold a wide and relatively big (not huge) foot (I wear a US11 size) and pedal holds AND grabs my shoes nicely.
- No spikes ready tho shred your shin or other delicate tissues (this is a big plus for me).
- You can use them effectively with almost any kind of sneaker. I use a pair of Nike Skateboard shoes (wifey Works at a sports shop and got with a huge discount).

Cons:
- Weight (at least if you're paranoid about using a pair of pedals that weight about 500grams for the large size).
- Allen key (8 milimeter) needed for fitting (no provisions for open wrench slots) & anti seize REQUIRED (the axle is from Cr-Mo and if you want to remove them someday, better to put some on the threads).
- Price?. I paid 83Euros for them but I feel that's a nice Price for them with the build quality.

An image is better than 1000 words, so I place a video to look at them decide for yourself.

+1 from me. I've been using them for a couple of years and they have been brilliant.
