I prefer one thick leather strap that goes over the top of the foot, and you tighten it down to your shoes so you dont need toe clips. Hold Fast I've heard is good, I dunno what your budget is like but I've got Sofus Francisco. They're spendy but worth the money if you're serious about riding. They're made out of the same leather as horse harnesses for pulling carriages! And the adhesive is industrial-strength velcro.. Seriously puts all other velcro to shame. Any straps of these style would require BMX platforms or mini-platforms. I prefer the mini, much sleeker and more low-key. Mine are Sinz brand and I paid like $40 at my LBS.


BTW, another reason why I like the mini-platform is because I've got small feet. If you have big feet you'd probably like standard platforms.
