Anyone use MTB flat pedal w/retention?

Depends on what the op commutes in.
If the shoes have any type of rubber sole, pinned pedals are the way to go. If leather soled shoes those same pins will shred your legs

I tried this setup on a mini-tour. I ended up just taking the straps off bc
the pins were plenty sticky enough.

Yeah. A retention system like that or the PowerGrips can be useful for real mountain bike riding, but generally seems unnecessary for commuting. YMMV.

I really like the Wellgo B132 pedals with any rubber sole shoe for commuting.

I use smaller pin pedals like the Blackspire Sub4 if I am wearing Five-Tens for technical riding.

Have some PowerGrips on XC Pros but admittedly have not ridden them. Yet.

I wear casual shoes and don't have any leather soled shoes. So it sounds like I can just put on my old Kona wah wah and go for it. Shimano saint looks good and probably well designed.

Give the race face chesters a look
