They're good for period LARPing

They're shit for foot retention. Worst of both worlds, not very good at holding your feet, also hard to get in and out of.

Either get decent platforms, or get a proper clipless setup

They make relatively walkable shoes with cleats now.

Yes. Sorry
Unless you've got very hard soled shoes, the edges cut into sneakers way too much, like riding in mush

Half clips are just as good imho

But all foot retention is bullshit. Flat pinned pedals win every time

I used to have these on my bike. Got a new bike and haven't moved them over yet. I liked them.

>that feeling when you accelerate from an intersection and you can't slip your feet into them and you do a have pedal and the clip scrapes on the ground and cars are looking at you like you're an idiot.

I like them.

The cutting into shoes issue mentioned is the main drawback. But it's liveable if you aren't riding them very hard/long and your shoes have reasonably strong soles. Maybe look at kinds that don't have sharp ridges if you want them though, like mks gr9. It's also worth learning to trackstand before you move to any kind of foot retention.

I also like pinned flats & clipless. They all have their place

It's almost as if someone invented a more casual clipless system that's easier to clip in and out of. Let's hope they'll call them SPDs

If you're using them correctly, then they're pretty tight on your feet. Remember they predate clipless and are supposed to serve the same purpose. If they were loose you'd kill yourself trying to sprint, your feet would come out of them and you'd crash hard.
