There are plenty of pedals that work with sneakers. I put about 20,000 miles on two sets of Odyssey Grandstand platform pedals and had no problems with foot comfort or grip. I’ve recently switched back to pedals with sealed bearings rather than bushings, namely MKS RMX and VP-538s on the road and MTB bikes, respectively. Both are made to work with sneakers or similar shoes. Lots of good choices.
