Default Platform pedals always feel like they have a bent spindle

Does anybody else have this sensation?

Any bike that I ride with platform pedals (as opposed to clipless) feels
like it has a bent pedal spindle... doesn't matter whose bike, or which
pedals, it just always feels that way. I don't think that it's from
having become accustomed to a bent spindle on my regular pedals because
I can switch between various pairs of clipless pedals (frogs are what I
use) without such a sensation.

Perhaps it's somehow related to the reason why I switched to Frogs,
which is because I could never seem to get my cleat alignment such that
it wouldn't bother my knees? Maybe I just have funky legs. :-)

Am I all alone on this? :-)

Sounds like you need a proper Saville Row shoe with a stiff sole!
