For my bikes that I ride on the road or MUPs, I still use 'cage' pedals with toe clips and straps. That way I can wear any shoe I desire - from my steel-toe work shoes with anti-slip or lugged soles, to running shoes, cross-trainers, hiking boots or even my ancient pair of Specialized cycling shoes.

I keep the straps < just > loose enough that I don't have to loosen them to pull the shoe straight back when coming to a stop. Yes, the pedal swings upside down at stops, but over the 40+ years that I have been using clips and straps, I've perfected the technique needed to drag/flip them around and slide the foot into the toe clip without looking.
