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.
The pedals I posted about are not to wide and are longer front to back so you can use more than the ball of your foot to spin the pedals. They are made for foot forward pedaling your suggestions are not. Using most of your foot instead of the just the front portion is what they are designed for. They are the best If you want to use non bicycle specific shoes.
