new double toe straps spotted
There was this old thread asking about leather double toe straps a waze back.
I found that Soma Fabrications has them new.
They cost 39.99 which is more than 2x their single ones, which continues the mystery of why doubles cost so much. But they are cheaper than other ones out there. Not Gucci®-priced, but I tend to like Target® pricing if possible.

errebi sprints are only 5 dollars more. if you wanna get gucci my LBS sells gucci stamped tabs for connecting two singles together. Me personally, I'll keep dreaming towards the day that I can buy a pair of the kashimax or toshi ones without feeling absolutely ********.

last I checked leather wholesale prices weren't THAT high, though. I think a lot of the price is driven by consumers willingness to buy them at the current price.

for toe clips and shoes, it is resistant enough. i wouldn't recommend it for a motorcycle jacket though.

Personally I don't think its durable enough for shoes. A very small crash can completely ruin a shoe. I wouldn't trust it rubbing against the pedal cage all day either.
