Naught better than a set of Lyotard 460D pedals. Flat, wide, teeth aren't too sharp but grip, easy to kick up and in. Nothing pointy, so won't tear up leather dress shoes, other footwear or your feet either. Elegance.

Best when paired with Christophe Special clips and Christophe/Zefal/equivalent non-laminated leather straps for ease of entrance and exit.
