Its honestly so thin i doubt you would notice if half your foot was on it and balf was on the dead pedal

I'm not sure about that dude, I'm hyper sensitive to everything.

I'm seriously like the princess and the pea.

Lol. I kinda am but then again i usually wear skate shoes so the thicker sole may have something to do with it

Here's the other brand that @driggity posted:



It goes up higher on the pedal, but it almost looks like the material is thicker in that spot!

Hmmm in that case I'm glad I got the weather techs. It's wired that they would "kick it up" but not go all the way, most likely for manufacturing. At least the weather techs don't go high enough so the ball of my foot would just naturally sit on the dead pedal it self.

Yeah, I see what you mean, probably feels more natural with the weather techs to have your foot mostly on the dead pedal. With these it looks like it would literally be half on the dead pedal and half on the cover - as far as the part of your foot that touches the dead pedal I mean.

I like that the material on these looks stickier/grippier though versus the harder plastic of the weather techs. Ugh!

Edit: Suppose I could always do the old Amazon "order both and return the one I don't like" trick, but I generally don't like doing that.

I'm in SJ if you wanna try mine.

I like'em but when it's raining, my shoe slips more (Nikes). Only complaint.


Quick opinions, what's the best Daily build from the bay that you guys seen? I'm a princess, need my car to make it over bumps and potholes.
