When I use step on pedal, my feet side around too much. Now, the ones I used where the MKS sylvan. Maybe something like a MKS bmx pedal might be better, but others will have to chime in on those. My favorite pedals that I have on both of my road bike is the Speedplay Frogs. Easy in and out, double-sided and light. I found them used for as low as $25 (although cleats can be pricey at $30-35). I think pedals and saddles are those personal items that fall into the "what works for me, may not work for you" category. Good Luck!
