Lightweight, decent low-price sustain pedal
The Lead Foot LFD-10 is a decent pedal for the price. If you're looking for a lightweight pedal to throw in your backpack or use occasionally at home, it certainly does the trick. It's not the most robust construction - so wouldn't necessarily recommend it as a pedal to rely upon for frequent performances. If you slam your foot on it a little too enthusiastically while performing, it WILL eventually break.
That said, it's a very inexpensive pedal. Considering what it costs, I think the somewhat lower quality is an acceptable compromise.
One other small dissatisfaction is that there is not an enormous distance between the pedal being pressed fully and released, and the spring holding it open is not especially strong. Because of this, it is not always immediately apparent solely by feel whether the pedal is pressed or not. By contrast, other pedals which have a wider range of movement or a stronger spring to push back against your foot allow you to feel immediately if they're pressed.
I use it as a backup pedal to use temporarily if any of my other pedals happen to break.
In summary, it's perfectly fine for the price. If you're using it heavily, I would invest in something with a bit more physical feedback and more sturdy construction.

It's cheap
You get what us pay for, it's cheap. And plastic.
However, it does what it should do.
Because it's so light, sometimes can be hard to feel the action of the pedal, especially with heavy shoes.

Budget Friendly
It is a decent, budget-friendly pedal. The shape is a bit uncomfortable if you are used to the piano pedals. However, it's easy to use and carry around.

Surprisingly good in practice.
I have a couple of these as part of an old Roland GR guitar synth setup, and they work better than expected.
Switching is positive and after several months use, there is no sign of any problems despite being stepped on (99KG) more than once.
If I were still gigging regularly I'd probably want to carry a spare in the bag, just in case - and a spare guitar, etc etc...
Clever design and good value, recommended!

Matching Pedal
For y'all who have the Roland GO-KEYS or a Nord-Piano the matching red pad on top of the pedal with make your sett up look nice. The Pedal its is not heavy so i won't recommend it for live gig, like myself i only use it when am home. Last but not the least it has a polarity switch and the build up quality is good even though is not metal

Doing its job
I wish that built quality was better, but for it's price - nothing to complain about. Using it for more than a year.

As cheap as it can get, and it works!
This is a very simple pedal, that basically costs you one coffee and works for simple tasks. A more precise sustain control is hard to get here, but for simply adding sustain it does the job. It also has a polarity switch which is nice and the cable is long enough.

Not bad
This is a low cost item that will suite beginners perfectly. It's plastic and doesn't feel very strong so be careful not to step on it very hard

OK for the price
I ordered Lead foot LFD-10 for my BOSS metronome as itsoot control button started to fail. Although this pedal works perfectley to this day, it looks quite cheap and unreliable. It looks more like a toy not like an instrument. Then again my friend who has the same pedal is completely satesfied with it and using it more than a year with no problems. so it maybe just my thoughts. Good product for the money.
