+1. Great combo pedal. They come with SH56 clips. I use mine with Nashbar MTB sandals and they work great on both sides with no problem. They tend to lean toward resting in a position that the clip side is up so you may have to manipulate for the platform side. Even though the platform side is a true high quality pinned wide platform and better than any other combo pedal, I personally would not use combo pedals with straight up flat shoes on purpose long term but they are great when you are mid ride and come across an area that you want to go unclipped. In the heat of the moment you would end up on the clipped side too often. I have a set of good low cost platforms and it takes 3 minutes to swap if I want a pure platform day.
