My recurring recommendation for commuter pedals is the Click 'R (read the review http://www.bicycles.net.au/2013/03/shim ... ng-pedals/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). If you want to go flat, I found BMX pedals (like below) give you the best traction for all sorts of shoe bases. I liked riding with Volleys, so the cage pedals cut into them in pretty short order. Switching to BMX pedals made a huge difference (and I even had toe clips attached to mine).

Bmx flats with thick, wide, bike-polo style straps are surprisingly good.

Bought a couple of pairs of these

VP-196
Sealed bearing CrMo Spindle quality looks good will see how they go.

LBS had them at $32.99. Some of the Nearby BS's were $49.99 for the same thing.
