Just my opinion, but I don't think toe clips are worthwhile unless you are using straps and old-fashioned slotted cleats, and you pull the straps tight. Otherwise what's the point?

I suggest you join the 21st century and get clipless. I prefer road pedals but you can use mtb-style ones if you want a walkable cleat.

Asking about platforms or toe clips vs clipless, IMO, is analogous to asking about stem shifters or DT shifters vs Brifters.

The first two are sooooo 20th century (although the c&v crowd would probably beg to differ).
