I've got double sided pedals (Deore XT T8000, https://www.rei.com/product/116154/s...000-spd-pedals). They work awesome, let me do whatever I want. Both clipped in, both not clipped in, often times on MUPs I'll clip in on the left and ride platform on the right.

But in general, too many people worry about being a "real" cyclist. Stop doing that, you'll enjoy it a lot more. You seem to want to ride flats, ride flats and don;t worry about what others think, its not their bike. I love the RaceFace Chesters on my fat bike.
