I've always liked the look of the MKS touring pedals but couldn't imagine them being comfortable. These pedals really changed my perception! I think the reason these work for me is that the body of the pedal doesn't extend the full-length of the pedal and the cage wraps around the end, leaving me a place to leave that part of my foot suspended on just the cage without substantial weight on the body of the pedal where the spindle is bolted on.

Even after overhauling these pedals, I hadn't really looked at the cage in any detail until I studied this pictures. I assumed it was originally silver and was now tarnished but it appears that the cage was originally black with the body being silver, as are some of the MKS touring pedals. I think I'll take the cages back off and paint them black so they match the rest of the components on my bike.
