I'm kinda wondering why hard-bottom road shoes have to be so slick... why not have "grippy" material in the arch groove just in case? And that heel pad has less surface area than the hooves of a fawn. I think it's just a matter of continually using them until I get used to them.

Mountain Shoes are better for the gravel bike and commuting rides. but it gets easier. it gets to the point where you don't think about it.
Only flat pedals I use are on my Fat Bike and that's only until I can put some money down on $500 boots. You might find that Crank Bros pedals are easier to use.
Got out this morning at about 6am and did a gravel ride before heading to the office. warm and sunny. but we need rain. the roads are getting powdery and slow.
