If I want to go for a quick ride(5 miles) in normal shoes can I?

Yes you can but because the surface area of the pedal is small it is difficult to keep your feet on the pedal. On a bumpy road it is not comfortable

I think the pedals are a little too small for normal shoes but the pedals are still flat do I don't see why not. Matter of personal preference I suppose!!!

I don't think you can. The pegs you put the shoes on are pretty short. I haven't tried it myself, but I think long boots would just flop over because there is not enough peg to hold them up.

From my experience, its goes are far as your big toe does only but when I was using this I did ride with very lightweight sneakers. If your shoes are thick, have toe protections, etc the dimension changes.

No they will need a special shoe. The normal shoe is a lot wider then this pedal. If you are looking to just use normal sneakers some stores sell these clips that you shoe actuall fits in and that is what I had prior to these pedals. I will say that since I have converted to these, I wonder why I did not do this before, they make such a big difference.

I recommend another peddle which is better for regular shoes and bike shoes: Shimano PDT400 Clickr Pedal. I have had both and have fallen many times with the PD-M540 but none with the PDT400. The PDT400 also has a plastic platform around it to support regular shoes. The two have a similar design but the PDT400 is a later model and is easier to get in to and out of.

Not unless you have really small feet. Maybe a kid's tennis shoe, but only one of them.

No, I don't think so. You would need shoes several sizes larger than your normal size. I have some large, flexible sandals that I can get my foot into with these, but these are not made to be worn with shoes.

Yes, you can wear normal shoes with them. Just need a little bit of practice to change positions with the peddal.

I have not used the clips on shoes, nor the pedals. I am very insecure about having my feet strapped or clipped to the pedals. So I am going say, "Yes, give it a try."

No, these are significantly more comfortable and useful than toeclips for my kind of riding which is mostly around town in regular shoes. My only complaint with them is they are not easily adjusted on the fly which isn't an issue if you wear the same shoes regularly.

you can, but the breaks are very bad and need to be adjusted constantly which is very frustrating and impossible for someone who is disable or weak to do. I had to buy a walker from a different manufacturer and different style

Im 5'4" and theres a slight lean req when at a stop. Pedaling is not a problem.

I feel sure that you can, however the longest I ride is for 1 1/2 hours. Trust me when I tell you that after going for that long at a level 14-15, you are a sweaty mess with nothing left. I love it. Good luck with your choice

Yes. That said I prefer shoes. I rarely go outside barefoot so my comfort zone is with shoes. The pedals are relatively large, more comfortable that typical bike pedals.

You should be able to. I wear them snowboarding so I don't move my legs as much but it's not very constricting.
