If you're interested in foot retention, this should be your first port of call in my opinion.
I had toe clips, which I loved for the foot retention. But I hated actually having something on my feet. I love the feeling of the clipless system that I installed, as there is nothing to push down on my toes. If you had read the thread fully, you would have seen that I considered toe clips/cups.
