Fyxation Gates Pedal Strap Kit with Black Pedal and Black Straps

The bicycle is my primary transportation in rainy Portland, OR. I need safe and comfortable pedals that I can use year around.Cleats are excellent for pedaling but the biking shoes are not very practical for anything other than biking.I tried different types of toe clips and some worked quite well. However, even the good ones scratched my shoes. Also, none were comfortable with sandals.I was initially skeptical about the straps but saw no better alternative so I tried them. It took some fiddling to adjust the Velcro straps just right. Once adjusted, they were surprisingly firm and comfortable. I used them with rubber boots, shoes and sandals. The straps held firm every time. Despite the snug fit it is easy to get in and out of the straps. The pedaling efficiency is not quite as good as with the SPD cleats but adequate for street riding.The pedals turn smoothly. It is too early to judge their durability but they seem to be good quality.Adjusting the straps entails pressing down the Velcro at the desired position. I wear size ten and the straps are roughly in the middle of the range. The same setting works for boots, shoes or sandals. Flip flops are the only type of footwear that did not work at all with the straps.I highly recommend this pedal and strap combination for reasonably skilled riders.Update: still going strong after a year and a half and three thousand miles.

Arrived on time. Good quality for good price.

This is the first time that I've had for straps for my bike. I've always used toe straps, but now I'm hooked. It took some time to get used to them, but now they're pretty great to use.

Less than 1 month, noticed corrosion around the threads

I've been riding bicycles for 62 years. My feet have always pointed out at about 45 degrees at rest. I've tried and owned all kinds of clips and shoes to keep my feet on my pedals, all meeting with limited success. My shoes either popped off the pedals or slipped through the clips. Now I can ride both comfortably and securely. It took a couple rides to figure out the right adjustment and to slide my feet in quickly at startup, but I'll likely never use another device now that I've found these. And they look great too!
