I own a few other pairs of not-cheap flat pedals and I've stopped using them in favor of the dmr vaults. I'm more comfortable in these pedals and five ten shoes than I am walking around in my regular shoes, they make biking really really comfortable (for me at least).

I use Five Ten Freerider shoes in black

That's actually the same grip you get with Five Ten Shoes plus Flat Pedals...the grip is that good forward, down, and back (not up obviously).
I have the DMR V12 Magnesium pedals, though at the moment they need rebuild, there is a bit of play in one, so I need to get the rebuild kit for them. I swapped them out the other day and have the Welgos on it. I had them in the garage.
I use these pedals with a pair of Crocs. Not the basic ones, but the Swiftwater clog. They are topped with leather, look good, have a stiffer sole than most, are comfortable, and they dry quickly after a rain.
