I've just recently have been trying the Shimano A520 touring pedals out, getting in and out is easy but I have yet to go on a extended ride with them to see if I get any hot spots. I have tried allot of different pedals the last couple of years looking for something that would work. I have large wide feet and so far these have been the best clipless I have used. I have had numerous Crank Brothers, Wellgo and Shimano pedals and so far these are the ones that seem to work the best for me.
