This is what was happening with me the first few weeks of having cages. I kept thinking I could just "escape" out of my pedals, nope. one time I fell in mud
Although I use mine on and off I use origin 8 propulsion pedals like the ones above just in yellow, soma single gate cages also yellow, and a salmo strap also yellow (there seems to be a theme).
Cages are nice for long rides or if you want to wear sneakers, but there are better options out there, to each and their own I guess try them out for a least a few months to get a feel for them don't let the first couple weeks deter you from using cages.
