Thanks for the thoughts. I had thought of trying the Always pedals. They are significantly smaller than my VP Vice, but honestly, I don’t seem to need a super wide platform for my foot. I have size 10, not wide feet. More important than size of the pedal, I think, is that it match my foot. > On

I have the Monarch, the VPs, and the older style grip king. Out of the 3 I like the Monarch the best, they have a nice platform that my feet feet locked in on. If you're worried about tearing up your shoes you could take out the pins and I think they'd still be very supportive. If you're curious
