I will chime in with the shoe width reference as well. I wear size 12 keens when riding and the grip kings felt like they barely made it half way across my foot. Put them on the wife bike, she is a size 7 ot 8 I think and she loves them. if you are going wide and flat look for some decent thin aluminum sealed bearing bmx pedas. vintage mks pedals have some nice patterns and colors as well.
