I have mostly the traditional tempered sheet metal ones like this : MKS Steel Toe Clips from BikeBling.com..


what I do to improve the nylon webbing of the commonly available toe strap is saturate it with Plastidip, the tool handle stuff..

Coatings and Adhesives, Rubber and Plastic Coatings | Plasti Dip Interntional

that stiffens the nylon to stay open and circular, more like thick Leather toe straps did .
