I dunno. I don't need 'em.
What I've got (described above) /works/ for me.
My plastic MTB toe clips even accomodate
steel-toed work boots. And they're definitely
not dangerous death-traps, yet they provide
adequate foot/pedal connection. Frankly I'm
mystified by why people deprecate them. Maybe
people still relate to the old-style road bike
metal toe clip/leather strap/external cleat
paradigm.
These things are way different from that.
Slidy/toothed-buckled cordura straps are
eminently escapable. If a rider pedalled
backwards, his feet might slide out of the
pedals. But I rarely pedal backwards.
cheers,
Tom
