In general, I really like the Grip Kings a lot. I have big feet --13,
sometimes 14 depending on the shoes, and the Grip Kings feel wonderful
under my feet. I love the support I get from how long they are, and
find it really nice to be able to move my feet around as needed. Like
Bruce, I too feel li
Yeah I went with the blunted spikes. I used 8 per pedal, so one bag
(32 studs) was enough for 2 bikes. Truly "Grip Kings" after that.
I have the sneaker pedals on another bike. They are comfortable too,
but I havent used them enough to say how the handle wet weather. My
guess would be they are o
If they combined the Grip King length and Touring pedal width, you'd
have a fine pedal. Pie in the sky though.
For large feet though, there is no substitute for the Wellgo MG-1.
Plenty of support, superb grip.
Not favored by tourists because of the looks. but what are pedals

I have just today found the combination of this shoe, the Asics
'Mexico 66" (http://www.zappos.com/onitsuka-tiger-by-asics-mexico-66-
black-white-enamel) with the Grip Kings to be a solid combo. The only
drawback of the Asics is that the sole material got torn up by the
capscrews I had on the GK's.
Yeah, the Grip Kings really don't grip well in the rain. My foot
slipped off them once when commuting to work in the rain. I remember
thinking "They should call these pedals Slip Kings". I'll add blunted
spikes to one side up on the front of the pedal and see how that goes,
it should eliminate sli
My Hillborne has sneaker pedals. My LHT has Grip Kings. Both work
well, although I find the GKs get slippery in the wet. Maybe it's me
and/or my shoes. Have used both this week on rides of 60 miles. I
really can't tell that much of a difference to be honest.
Have used the touring pedals, but
I am also considering the sneaker pedals on a bike. I have used Grip Kings
and MKS Touring pedals. I generally prefer the Grip Kings to the Touring,
but I am thinking the wider platform of the sneaker pedal might be better
for my wide feet.

Hey, thanks for all the responses. Looks like the next thing I'll try
is putting some blunt pedal spikes on the Grip Kings. Yeah, Vans and
the touring pedals seem fine for around town but there is something
not so great about the lack of support in the middle of the pedal. For
the time being I'll b
I've also used both extensively on my bikes ( 2 sets of each!) and
have settled on the GK's with the studs that rivendell sells. In wet
weather both the GK's and MKS touring pedals performed rather poorly,
but with just 4 studs per side on the GK's they turn in to great wet
weather pedals. The st
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
