Catalyst Pedals?

Hi all,

I've had a tailor's bunion much of my life, and it's really gotten
painful the last week or so.  On closer attention, it seems the
Bontrager shoes I wear are one of the main culprits in aggravating
it (a pair of sandals is another).  I've ordered a ball and ring
shoe stretcher to alleviate the pressure on the affected area.

In looking for solutions, I also came across something caled
Catalyst Pedals.  They are platforms that are larger than most and
also have pins to aid grip between shoe and pedal.  The main
benefit is ability to wear optimal athletic shoes.  Here's more...

Has anyone ever used these and have experience they could share? 
I've ridden on clipless for 30 years, so I'm not sure if I could
get used to platforms (though I do have Campy Super Leggeri pedals
with toe straps on my fixed gear bike).
