This is what I use - tossed out the straps that came with the "rat traps" - I think they're dangerous for any cyclist the least bit sloppy - and just kept the cage over the toe parts. I find when I'm fatigued, they keep my feet on the pedals and more importantly, in a sudden stop I can take a foot off the pedal to plant on the ground quickly and safely.
