those are damn nice pedals but i think u would be spending unnescessary cash on those, go for somethin else, anything with screw in pegs basicly.

Haha, I own the Wah Wahs, which look almost the exact same.
The pedals are really really nice in my opinion. They stick to my feet like glue. I'm using just some 30 dollar superstore shoes, so it doesn't take fancy shoes to make them stick. I think the pedals are worth it. It's a super good sealed pedal, I would buy it if I were you. And it comes in a sick red colour, so go for it.

P.S johannkuschke: those pedals have screw in pins. There are Allen bolts on the other side of the pin. It's a lot better than the design that has the pins screw out from where they grip your feet like a lot of pedals, thats for sure.

Mine feel amazing, and are really grippy, I know its going to ware away ALOT faster then metal but 13 buks drew come on! I can buy like 5 pairs for the price of an average sealed metal pedal.

i know, but i'm sure that a super low profile premium pedal will have a better feel than a twisted pc. and if he's lookin at 80 dollar pedals, he's probably not interested in a 13 dollar pcWink but i'm not hatin on them, but i'm pretty sure they are not as good as 80 dollare premiums.

if you get metal pedals that stick to your feet you won't have to worry about getting whacked in the shins.
