 Generally solid if they are what you are looking for.....Jul 22, 2009
By Jason W.
I agree with a couple of other reviews. These are called dual use and it says you don't need to clip in. This is true. I agree that it is not as comfortable to ride when you aren't clipped in (I actually use a softer shoe when I don't clip in and I'm just running a quick errand). These are heavy but I don't notice that on my mountain bike.
I like being able to clip in on both sides so I can just step on my pedals and go and if you are like me then this is probably for you. If you don't mind making sure the pedal is on the proper side then you might be happier with a different pedal.
I find it MUCH easier to unclip by turning my heel in and have to adjust the pedals nearly as loose as possible.

 Bulletproof but weight of a tankJul 16, 2009
By CD
Convenient to have options of riding clipped in or not, although if you aren't clipped in the pedal surface of this pedal isn't exactly conducive to riding comfortably for very long, IMO.
The pedals work well, but they sure are heavy. I'm not one who worries much about weight, but put two of these on your bike and it is noticeable.
I've tried lots of pedals and I've finally come to the conclusion that if you aren't going to clip in, you're better off going with a lighter pedal (like Wellgo) that is flat and has sufficient surface area for your shoe to rest on. If you are going to clip in... then best to do without the platform and save yourself the weight. If you want the option of clipping in or not, you'll pay for it weight wise.
Shimano makes another pedal that has the SPD option on one side and non-SPD on the other. Although it is also heavy, I prefer it to the PD-M424 because it has a larger flat surface for your shoe on the non-SPD side.

Shimano PD-M424 All around ChampAug 18, 2010
By Backpackcamp
I have been using this peddle for more than 4 years now, riding 5 days a week on two different bikes. It is reliable, forgiving and works as expected. I highly recommend this peddle for everyday commute or daily riding. I have riding it with clip shoes and without. Fully expect to buy another pair once I wear them out.

 Great PedalsMay 10, 2012
By O. S. Nyatanga
"KING"
These are my first shimano bought clip in pedals and they really are great. They easily clip in, and i also use regular shoes when i go out with just friends. Installation was pretty easy, basic tools where used. I did fall a few times just getting used to the clips, but after some time i got used to it.

Still getting used to themSep 04, 2011
By Matt
These are my first pair of clipless pedals, and they are taking some getting used to. The pedal locks onto the cleat VERY securely. I wasn't able to get my foot out of the binding until I had already fallen over, a few times. Once I loosened the binding from it's factory setting though it's much easier to get in and out of them. The pedals seem to be very well made and work just like they are supposed to. The binding does sit above the plastic pedal a bit and makes them much more slippery than regular platform pedals, especially when your shoes are wet.
All in all, these pedals are what they are supposed to be. Not really a platform pedal, and not really a clipless pedal, but if you really want to have both without switching back-and-forth between different pedals they are a good option. I haven't abused them a whole lot yet, but the plastic pedal appears to be very tough. For the extra money and weight I don't see any reason to get the pedals with the metal cage.
