The flat-flats I've spent the most time on are the large Kona Wah Wah 2s you mentioned in the article. Loved the large platform, but what the OneUps have me appreciating is the importance of central pins.
In the classic trying-to-track-down-a-stubborn-creak fashion, the last few rides have me on an old pair HT PA03As, which are strongly in the concave category and predate my move to mid-foot. The shape is far from ideal, but are saved by having the kind of sharp pins that 5.10s love.
