I put a pair of RF Chester plastic pedals on my new bike. Had of lot of issues with my foot being stuck in the wrong place.
On a whim, I put a ruler across them and it turns out, despite appearances, the are slightly convex/humped in the center.
I swapped for the Specialized Supercaz composites, and although they look similar at a glance, the ruler revealed they are ever so slightly concave.
Way better (for me). I am able to replace my foot on the pedal and end up in the right place much more frequently.
So, US$60 can get you a pair of pedals without the hump.
Previously I ran a pair of Nukeproofs for a few years, they were fine too, but different shoes and I bet they changed the model.
