I need help finding pedals.

I recently got a pair of pedal straps, but unfortunately, they do not fit on my current pair of pedals (laugh it up harr harr harr) . These are the straps:

The the two bottom straps that go through the pedal itself are 3/4 inches wide and at their thickest, are 3/8 of an inch thick. Can someone please post some pedals that would accommodate theses straps? I don't know of any pedals whose information specifically says the holes in the pedals are big enough. These are my current pedals, the clear ones on the far right.

Some white or silver pedals would be nice, if at all possible.

You should be able to fold the lower straps in half and pull them through using needlenose pliers. If not, all you need to do is drill or file the hole in your pedals out a little.

^agreed.

or pretty much any other pedal will probably do. you just happen to have some funky pedals with that round hole on the profile, probably because they are plastic instead of metal

I'm going to second needlenose pliers. They give you the leverage you're probably lacking to get the straps to clear the holes.

the circular hole in the pedal might wear on the bottom straps, I've read covering the bottom strap in an old innertube helps prolong the life of your foot retention.
