Honestly, I pull up. I'm not pulling the pedal up, I'm lifting the leg and pulling my foot up, getting it into postion to push again, same as I would do for running.

you should try it, you can feel the relief in the pushing leg.

I'll go try it. Why couldn't you do that in flats?

You do it with flats too. Clipped in feet just makes it so you don't need to worry about where the foot ends up after that. But it's not a huge difference.
