Good flat pedals and shoes are NOT simply the setup you have now without the clips/straps. The pedal platform on many are much wider and longer, and between the traction pins (real ones, not little dull knubs) and good shoes, you stick to them like velcro.

I get that some folks just feel more secure with retention. Hey, it is all personal preference. I just think people should be aware that not all flats are created equal, and some are damn near impossible to slip off of.
