Yeah, I rode them a few miles with the straps set a bit loose and they are really nice. Certainly, they are far better than anything else with running shoes, vastly better than toe clips with single straps. I was surprised that they are really easy to get into, because they hold their shape like a horse riding stirup, but still do a good job retaining the foot when pulling up. You did a good job with the design and the quality is evident.
