If you’ve got big feet then finding the right flat pedals can be quite a difficult task, and yet it’s one that may have just got a whole lot easier thanks to some alternative thinking from Crankbrothers. That’s because the new-for-2016 Stamp pedals are produced in two sizes: small, for riders with feet up to a US10 / UK size 9.5 / EU43, and large, for anyone who sits above that – according to the packaging they’re good for anyone up to a US15 / UK14.5 / EU48.
Crankbrothers firmly believes that pedal sizing shouldn’t be a one–size-fits-all affair, and isn't alone with their thinking. In fact, this year has seen a few manufacturers opting for size-specific pedals.
So, just how much of a difference are we talking? Well, the footprint of the large Stamp sits at 114mmx111mm compared to the square 100mmx100mm platform of the smaller size pedal. Take a look at the image below that we took of the Stamp pedals, both are placed against the same UK size 12 shoe.

Sizing aside, the £117/ US$150 / €150 Stamps are a forged aluminium construction, and their concave bodies rotate only on bushings, albeit very fancy ones – known as the Igus Iglide, they're said to offer better durability than sealed bearings and allow for an extra low profile platform. Also inside is a steel axle, at the end of which is a grease port for easy maintenance. No fewer than 10 adjustable pins feature on each side.
