Default pedals that actually WORK?

winter is here and i have to wear boots to keep my feet dry, even if i kick the snoww off of em, i still slip off of the pedals sometimes or have to reposition. my question:
is there a set of aftermarket pedals that will actually increase grip, dooin so while staying away from rice (no L.E.D.s, plug-ins, chrome or fake mugen (mudgen) emblems)

What i used to do when i was a cross country truck driver, was remove the rubber covers and get skate board grip tape and put it on there. you have no idea what kind of ish that can happen when your foot slips of the clutch pedal of a semi while sitting at a red light, or hoe stupid you look for stalling out because your foot slips.

Best of Luck!

Momo Grip all the way. we use them in our rally car, and for the cheapest momo pedal out there, they are also the best.

It's not a technical thing. Just stick a piece on your pedal, and cut around it. When it looks worn, you replace it. And it's hella cheap, just but some.

It's sandpaper with tape on the back basically.
