More likely to be a saddle height / position thing than a pedal thing I’d thought.
Can’t imagine locking your leg in one position is better than having it free to find a more natural position on a pedal?

The problem is that, while spds do allow a certain amount of lateral float, these flats do basically lock my feet into one position due to the location of the pins and the slight dip in the middle. I think @dbr has a point though, using normal shoes probably isn't as good as using cycling shoes. My dadbike does have a wider Q, but the pedals just exacerbate this by guiding my feet away from the crank.

Weirdly I get knee pain riding my relaxed dadbike (which has flats) to work, whereas 60 miles on my roadbike gives me no trouble at all. I think some of the reason is that my dadbike uses DMR V8 copies which seem to guid my feet into quite a wide stance. Any recommendations for a decent flat pedal that tends to settle one's feet into a narrower stance.
