My one gripe with Grip Kings is the lack of support across the width of my foot. My right ankle is terribly weak laterally from rolling it badly too many times. The outside of my right foot wants to spill over even with less floppy Adidas shoes. That lack of support causes some discomfort. I've got the conceptual design worked out for a modification to the GKs to remedy this for myself.
I imagine the touring pedals would be better width wise (because they are, um, wider?). With floppy shoes like Vans I'm sure I'd be bummed at their shape. Two hard edges and nothing else in the way of support. I love the RMX sneakers. Totally love them. I might buy several pair.
