Once you try clipless pedals you'll know why they're so popular. I've never heard of anyone going back. There are probably no numbers, but clipless pedals *lock* your foot in place, especially helpful on the upstroke. I don't even bother with clips and straps, I either use clipless pedals or plain flat pedals. Because if the straps are tight enough to do anything they put too much pressure on the top of my foot making it uncomfortable (lightweight sneakers.)
