Agreed on PT...his are the grippiest ones I've ever felt. You really can't go barefoot cuz they're spikey and would hurt like a mofo. Heal and toe in his (automatic) car isn't possible w/o screwing up the bottom side of your shoes.
Don't be cheasy...get pedals with some kinda grip. Mine are from Alex and they have a lil raised section, but not enuf if the bottom of my shoes are wet from rain.
I put the brake one as far right as possible to make heal and toe more easy. It's more like ball and pinky-toe for me.
