MKS Toe clips - Steel vs. aluminum
Any real difference betweem these two clips? And any reason besides bling to get the ones with leather?

I agree on the alu-version being crap, I also broke mine on a curb just like that.
As for the size, I'd say get the Large ones for size 9 shoe, for me L is good for my 9.5 size sneakers, and too small clips are worse than too big ones anyway.

I wear a size 9 and have the M. Too large of a size might put your foot in the wrong place over the pedal. Too small of a size could also do this but I suppose you could make minor compensations for a too small toe clip by putting washers between the pedal and the clip itself.
