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 like I can get about 2/3rds of a circle of power out them.
I used mine all winter here in Anchorage, and the one downside I found was that any type of snow or slush built up on the bottom of my shoes or on the surface of the pedals definitely made them "Slip Kings". I had a number of frustrating and jolting starts at stop lights when my foot just slipped off the pedal as I was trying to start out. Late-December I followed the advice from one of the recent readers, drilled holes in four positions on the outside set of holes, and screwed in some stainless steel set screws on both sides. I can concur that they are now truly the Kings of Grip. I found that the studs worked particularly well with lugged sole winter boots, which seemed to slip often before I installed them. - Zach On Apr 28, 1:16 pm, jose <jose.cor...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeah I went with the blunted spikes.
