Hey Andrew. Another great review. Hood tech explanation. Plenty of good pics.
Like you I’m an “under the arches” pedaller. Mine was injury inspired too. A disc herniation has left me with a weak calf - recovering ever so slowly. My foot is WAY forward
Because the arch of a shoe is narrower I find the even the pretty wide 5-10 Sam Hill Impacts I like don’t get anywhere near the crank side pins on most pedals. I guess you’re seeing that with these too. Those pins are VERY close in.
Kona’s bargain WahWah composite really suit me -amazing grip and no pins near the crank to miss out on. Plus I like the chamfered front edge (like the Wolftooth and Vault) which seems less likely to catch a crab. I wonder if that’s true
I live in Brighton tho - so I’d love to be using local pedals!! Vaults are pretty close geographically and another lovely pedal just slightly edged out by the WahWah. The Vailts too have inner pins my soles never touch.
Happy trails man.
