Other Thoughts
This is the third pair of these pedals I've bought. Modern Bike had the best price I've found yet.
I like this pedal better than MKS's GR-9 and GR-10 models because it's a bit wider and flatter: more like the Lyotard Berthet. Also, the way the "tongue" connects with the platform: at the same level, in one piece--is also more reminiscent of the Berthet than GR-9 and GR-10, and stronger.
I also own a pair of White Industries platform pedals. They're great, but they cost four to times as much as these pedals (at least at Modern Bike's price), and I wouldn't say they're three to four times better!
Best pedal for toe clip users

Product:
MKS Urban Platform Road Pedal 9/16" Silver
Ownership: a month
Tech Knowledge: high
Pros
These are an updated version of the classic Lyotard Model 23 platform pedals. Best feature? These tie with the Lyotards to be the very easiest pedal to slip your shoe into. It takes exactly one second every time. I'm in my pedals while my clipless friends are still dabbing around trying to clip in.
The Lyotards were chromed steel, while these are die cast aluminum. These bearing seals are worlds better than the old Lyotards. And the platform is a bit bigger, making them more comfortable.
Cons
Only minor downsides: The long tab prevents use of a classic pedal reflector on the rear. (The front is OK, and I put a dot of reflective tape on my crank to handle the rear.) And the finish isn't up to Campy standards. Nobody will rave at the polished sheen of your pedals, if that's important to you.
Other Thoughts
Clipless pedals make you change shoes to ride your bike. The ones that are clipless on one side and plain on the other require fussing around to flip the pedal to the proper side. These just WORK with any shoe I own.

The bearings are SOOO smooth! Nice flat touring pedal

You need to use them with toe clips or half clips so they point down correctly.
