Barefoot: No question - Phil Wood, smooth surface, no spikes. Back when I was young and could afford bike parts, but not shoes, the Phil Woods were a wonder after years of Lyotard rat traps and Campagnolo Records. I have a pair that still spin smooth. Bang for the buck: MKS sneaker pedals, but these may not be considered platform pedals by some. Shoes: Shimano Saint, these win over the Thin Gripsters (VP001) because the edges of the VPs are sharp and have drawn blood several times. I have filed the edges of several VPs to prevent cuts, but it kind of ruins the esthetics. If you have to have silver: Velo Orange Sabot. Note that I do not consider MKS Touring to be platform pedals. They are classic rat traps, and the best rat traps due to their width but they are not platforms. Honorable mention: Lyotard platform pedals - too bad they are too narrow for me. I have them in French and English threads. White Industries and MKS both make copies of these in alloy as opposed to the original steel.
