I thought about trying the Catalyst pedals a year or so ago. Wasn't sure I'd like 'em so I got the closest I could find in size that was affordable -- Thermalite pedals by Stolen Bike company, only $10-$20 depending on model. I like 'em a lot. If you're not sure you'd like the Catalyst enough to spend that much money, try a pair of Thermalites. Good durable platform pedals at a starter price.
