I have some VP thin gripsters that are great and grippy but a friend warned me they'll "eat your shoes". I looked and he was right. I wear thin soled barefoot shoes like Five Fingers and Xero. So I switched to the plastic flats like Riv uses and I like them. I've had the steel pins eat my shins one too many times on a bumpy road. I wore out the bearing on one so I got another pair I've yet to put on. Pedals are mismatched for the time being but no one notices.
