I've seen them used on road bikes too - gorilla mashers.
Christophe made double toe clips that were riveted together.
Some setups used double toe straps too.

Thanks, Chas. I recall seeing those Christophe sets that were actually riveted together.
I myself have broken straps in the past, so I can understand wanting to beef those up. But the clips? That would take some toe strength ...
Having said that, they do break, as you can actually see in the pair pictured above, but always at the strap loop IME. And that's the one thing that is not doubled on these sets.
Anyway, thanks for your replies, guys.

Best to split these up then, if I am going to use them ...
