incazzare.
For commuting in normal shoes I use MKS Sylvan Stream pedals with MKS toe clips.

Over the past couple weeks I've been trying different pedals for my commuter bike. I must say that I love the MKS Grip king platform pedals. This morning even with wet shoes I found them gripping in the soles of my shoes. Now I want to put those babies on my trail bike.

If you want just plastic platform pedals, send me a few bucks for shipping and I'll give you the ones that came off of my mtb bike. It's brand new.

I've gotta say; platforms are noticeably different as long as they're toe-clip compatible. (Has the holes)
I'd also like to add; for commuting on a bike that's qualified for fit the road bike category, (not a road hybrid), Shimano's PD-M324 and PD-A530 are great. You can commute with any shoes, but when you're looking for speed because you're late for work or wanting a good workout you have the clipless option.

I would advise getting a pair of SPD shoes and cleats. Don't be worried that Shimano says they are for "mountain biking". While that may be their ideal role, they have recessed cleats which allow you to have traction when walking around and help to avoid cleat wear. Also, if you get SPD-SL pedals(road style), you will sound like a tap dancer when you walk.
