Hi guys,
Came across this courtesy of a friend of mine. Anyone had any experience with them?

Seems like an interesting hybrid between flats and clips.

You have to wear SPD shoes which generally have stiff, hard soles to use flat pedals which are designed for use with soft-soled shoes.
It's a solution looking for a problem.
And it all promised so so much”

As someone who rides flats and too much of a wuss to ride spd these seem like a good compromise. I’m useless at clicking out quickly, but flats make me dab down too often, these may be useful for confidence building. Also may help reduce the amount of shin bruises I get from slipping from the pedals. I do wear 5 ten flats on shimano saint pedals, just poor technique resulting in the odd pedal to shin moment.
(I’m a roadie who also rides mountain bike, no issues with being clipped in on the road, just on mountain bike)
I have a busted up knee and ankle from years of falling off of a bmx and skateboards, meaning the twisting action on a regular SPD can be pretty painful.
Would want to try before I bought them though.
