good flat pedal

Can someone recommend a good quality flat pedal for road single speeding (freewheel, not fixed)? I don't use toe clips, just looking for a higher quality flat pedal that doesn't cost too much. I don't mind paying a bit to get quality, but didn't want to spend over $100 if all possible. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll check 'em both out...

@Squeegee - I've played guitar for 30 plus years, so those look promising

I like BMX pedals for flats. Unsealed plastic ones are about $15. Check some out here.

I have flat wide feet and these pedals are very comfortable....

The Crank Brother 5050 is a good choice

For something a little smaller, the MKS GR-9 pedal is good.

Unfortunately, the Crank Bro. 50/50 is not well reviewed at all. The overwhelming sentiments are they are utter crap through and through. Not sure why Crank Bro's would do that to themselves.
