LBS had the PureFix Straps so I picked up a set.
Same basic design as the Retrospec but with substantially better materials and a few subtle differences.
The PureFix Straps adjust better to create a larger front opening making it much easier to slip your toe in.
The thicker materials help with that too.
They'll last longer for sure.
Just have to fine-tune the straps so it is easy enough to get your foot in while still being tight enough where you can pull up on the pedal effectively.
