Opinion on pedals
So I'm wanting to get pedals that are casual but look pretty nice, perform well, and are durable. I'm thinking of getting these, but I've heard some mixed reviews? I want some that I don't really need cycling shoes for >.<

I'm happy with my MKS Sylvan pedals. Classic design, been around for decades.

+1 on the touring Sylvans. Quality, sealed bearing BMX platforms feel great and grip better than the Sylvans in the wet. I also love my S&M platforms and Sun Ringle ZuZus.

FWIW: I buy plenty of stuff from Universal Cycles, but that's only because they're local to me and I can pick up stuff from them on the way home from work.
