The Mt. Christophe clips are great. I need to have my feet clipped in somehow. I end up pedaling with my heels otherwise. I have the MtC clips on my vintage MTB. They work great. I'm not quite ready to go clipless. The clips allow for a versatile footwear selection and let me keep my feet in place. I broke my 20 year old pair recently and had to get a new pair. The $10 for clips and straps sure beat $200 for a set of clipless pedals and shoes! Besides I only have one bike, so versatility is a must.
