Mks Double Strap Toe Clip L
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

using a bench vise & locking pliers I just snapped of the top part just below the rivets, then filed the edges
then I opened them up a bit with my hands for more height
for more depth I DIY'd spacers using nuts, bolts & plastic/vinyl tubes from the hardware store

this gives me perfect foot placement on the pedal axis

I also use Sunlite Pedal Extenders, 9/16" to 9/16", 21mm Long so the sides of my feet aren't leaning off the side of the pedals giving me 5 1/4" from crank to outside edge of pedal. the 3rd photo shows the pedal extender visible & not all photos were taken after the extenders were added
Very nice job, I love to see improvement modifications to a existing component, not only did you improve it, but you also get the satisfaction of making a unique component that fits you.
