Performance sells a decent quality small bear trap style pedal, with sealed bearings. I bought a pair for my commuter, along with the toe straps.

I keep the "feet belts" just slack enough to be able to slip in & out of them with my store-brand sneakers. An advantage of the straps is that on very wet days, I can ride in using old yard-work sneakers or even slip-on canvas beach shoes.

This may not be race winning style, but my racing days ended in 1985... now, all I want to do is get to the office in one piece.
