Ease of Use/Appropriate for Road/Off-Road?
I just purchased a Tommaso Bestia. I do mostly road cycling with some off-road tendencies. Are these good pedals for me? I don't want to have to wear/purchase special shoes just to ride my bike. But I do like the clips. I have a pair of mountain bike'ish pedals with clips on them on my current bike which is just a Diamondback hybrid.
I have a bit of trouble getting my foot into my current pedals. Are these easier to slide in to?
Thanks!
Ease of Use/Appropriate for Road/Off-Road?
These are definitely a great pedal for the road, as you get the push down and pull up energy like a clip in, and they are adjustable to fit many shoe sizes. For off road, it's nice to be able to get your foot out quickly on technical stuff so you may want to look into a clip if your doing real aggressive mountain riding, but for flat trails/fire roads and stuff like that they'd work great.

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Adjustable straps when riding?
Hi, can anybody explain the route of the strap through the buckle? I have no diagram and I used to have straps that I could tighten once riding but I cannot work out if I can do it with the VP 399T ones. Many thanks
Adjustable straps when riding?
Best way is to pinch clip to open it, then feed the strap through the inside of the roller through the smaller hole on the upper clip. Close the clip and the feed through the larger hole, place your foot in the pedal and pull to adjust.

Shoes
I generally wear Asics when going for more casual rides, would these pedals fit around these shoes or are they for very slim ones?
Shoes
The vp399t pedals are a great option if you plan on riding in running shoes or any sneaker.

Big feet
I wear a size 14 men's shoe and don't have cycling shoes yet. If I get these pedals will I be able to use them with tennis shoes?
Big feet
We recommend that you use a different pedal like the vp332a or the vp567 if you have size 14 shoes. The vp 399t is a one size fits all pedal and your feet would be positioned to far back.

Are these clip pedals?
Are they able to use with shoes such as Vans?
Are these clip pedals?
You can use the VP 399t pedals with just about any shoe. Although I wouldn't recommend trying to use them with high heels.
Are these clip pedals?
Your Vans toe might be too wide to fit all the way up in the pedal. I wear road flats with mine.

Large feet
I have large feet (I wear a US 14W or 15W shoe). Would my feet fit comfortably in the toe clips? It sort of looks like only my toes would end up contacting the pedal...
Large feet
The VP399T pedals would probably be a bit small for a size 14 or 15 wide. I would recommend getting a pedal like the Sun Lite Sport Light Pedal and then picking up an XL toe clip to mount to the pedal.

I wear a size 13 and I haven't had a problem with clips. You can adjust some of them, but I wouldn't let it stop you. You can always return them if they don't work.
Large feet
I wear a pair of racing flats with these pedals on my everyday bike and they do the trick. A little more comfy than bike shoes but still a narrow toe to slide in and out of these pedals. Oh, and i wear a size 13.

Track bike
Would these provide enough foot retention to allow for stopping on a track bike?
Track bike
The VP 399T pedals provide a snug fit due to their form fitting toe clip as well as the toe strap. They definitely have the ability to stop a track bike or to keep your feet in place on dare-devil road descents. They can be used for road riding or for cruising in style on one of Tommaso's singlespeed/track bikes.
