I have pedals similar to the XLC pedals in the first Amazon offering on my recumbent trike. They were switched from a previous trike and must have well over 15K miles on them by now. There is a set of XLC pedals in the drawer waiting for those to finally need replacing. The reason I like them is that I use a set of $5 mini toe clips (no straps) to keep my feet firmly in place when I ride the trike. I can get off the trike and walk comfortably in my riding (ordinary) shoes. Buying clipless pedals is only the start because then you need to get shoes to match the attachment. Most of the recognizable name pedals (Crank Bros, Shimano, Look) are going to be a a lot more than $15.
