A lot of good points... but now for the rest of the story...

Half toe clips became popular during the bike boom era. They were originally marketed to commuters for use with street and dress shoes.

MKS makes leather wrapped for better shoe protection. I think that Christophe made some that way too.

Whatever else people did with them besides that was a matter of personal choice.
