I rode a hard 75 course yesterday in Keen sandals and MKS Sylvan (un attached) pedals) After getting up a long 16% climb 2d in our group, another rider asked me how I could do it without being clipped in. It's easy. I still pedal in a circle and use mainly the muscles on the back of my legs to climb. I give up hip flexor lift, but gain zero hotspots, no knee or ankle pain, and no falling over from forgetting to clip out. The MKS touring light is a good pedal but as others have said, the Lambda/GripKing is better from spreading the pressure out on a comfy ride. I toured several hundred miles last week on mine (on a Saluki) and had no foot issues at any time, and lost no average speed.
