I have lots of miles on the MKS Allways pedals too. They are the bees knees. Big, grippy, light, flat removable pedal. Make sure you use the pedal washers that (should) come with them. Without the washers the part that is screwed into the crankarm could loosen, and gall the area where it seats against the crank. That happened with my MKS superior touring pedal before using washers. It took awhile to figure out what that creaking was.
Note! I am not suggesting that the pedals would come off the bike! Just use the pedal washers (they were provided in the package of the Allways pedals for me). I have had the MKS pedal (the part that screws into the crank arm) loosen without them and creak against the crank arm, but they were still screwed into the cranks! Pedaling motion resists a pedal unscrewing itself from the crankarms.
