MKS Toe Clips Double Gate

Does anyone know where you can get a pair of these? I've looked around online and only found the 'deep' ones. My LBS can't seem to find them at all, deep or otherwise. TIA

Universal Cycles has them:

Do they need to be MKS? What about these?

To put it in perspective, I wear a 12 and larges are just right. Unless you wear big bulky skate shoes, you should use mediums.

I actually ordered a pair of the CKC on ebay for dirt cheap, thinking 'how bad could they be'. turns out they're the worst toe-clip possible. just horrid, mks only from now on. thanks though.

I had a set of CKC doubles on my Madison for a while and they were just fine.

You'll most likely need to order the MKS doubles from somewhere in Europe or Japan. Even then, the deep ones are more common.
