I snapped my Soma Quad gate cages in a lil under a year, just wondering if there are any good recommendations.

Plastic.

Plastic is stronger than metal?

More flexible, so they are less likely to sheer off like metal. And they are mad cheap so you won't get pissed when you snap these ones.

That being said, I would just get some more metal ones because they are stronger and hold on to your toes better. Technically the strap is what holds your foot but, to me, metal clips seem to feel better when you pull up.

Good point, I guess I ride back down to the LBS and snag those plastic ones they got then.
