My experience with the Grip Kings was they provide good grip even when wet, and I could easily move my foot around. The downside is my personal clumsiness. It seemed my right calf was always scraped up from the pedal whacking me as I lifted the bike over an obstacle, carried it up stairs, etc. I now use some cheap campus pedals with a rubber surface. They are similar to the MKS flat pedals that Rivendell sells, but with the rubber grip. I rode them in Thailand thru rain & slippery mud, wearing walking sandals, with no serious slippage problems. Probably not for everyone, though.
