They are extremely easy to get in and out of at stops. On my last ride, I was cruising along and missed a trail sign warning of a stop ahead, so I cruised right into the stop at 16 mph and had to do an emergency braking manuever. My shoe came right out of the Power Grips as if they weren't there.

They do flip over upside down, which can be annoying.

They cost around $18-$20.

They only come in black, with big white/silver letters on them screaming that yes, you are a Fred.

Oh, and you have to have the right kind of platform pedal for them to work. A pedal with removable reflectors (or holes for attaching reflectors) that then have the screw holes in the right position to install the power grips. The standard medal sawtooth pedals work, but most of the MTB platform pedals do not.

You can see the approximate type of pedal that works in this pic:
