3m reflective tape is awesome. i'm betting most of us don't have reflectors on our pedals due to clipless pedals or bmx-style flats with straps etc. they are required by the highway code afaik.
I've stuck 3m tape to the backs of my shoes after noticing how visible old-scholl pedal lights are when i've been driving on darker roads. i think it's their movement - they'll catch your headlights perfectly at some point in their revolution and send you back a really bright blink of light. again the movement helps, it catches your eye.
the tape is black and sticks well to the heel cups of cycling shoes.
not my primary way of making myself visible to motorists at night and not strickly compliant with the highway code i guess, but it does make you more visible.
I do this - the movement is key. Started doing it after I saw people with lights in their pedals. Whicch tape do you use? I have some 3M orange stuff that is great but is a bit fragile and doesn't stick as well as I'd like.
Onluy downside is it's not cheap but it'll last you a long time.
