I still like my MKS GR-9 pedals with chromed clips and leather strap that I've been using since I bought the pedals new 14 years ago, but ride most of my miles these days on cheap Wellgo BMX platforms. I rode only about 200 miles this summer on the 'clip' side of my cheapo dual-sided clipless pedals with Shimano sandals.

Severe plantar fasciitis makes my foot health a mystery to me these days. Cycling with the ball of my foot extended and taking pressure seems to help, overall, so cycling is good for it, and things seem to be better when I can flex my foot in all directions.
