Go over to "Mountain Bikes", or "Single Speeds" and count the number of people complaining about pain or injuries caused by BMX-style pedals....the number of such threads is about zero.
But, anyone who wants to test the MKS sneaker pedals is only risking $25...plus the amount of crow they would be munching after they do the "average time" test.
While you're over there in the mountain biking forum check out how many people banged their shins on the pedals because they hit a nice, hefty bump in the path and their feet bounced off the pedals. I've still got a scar on one of my shins from the last time I rode a bike that didn't have clipless pedals on it.
I love my clipless pedals!
