The strap should definitely touch your shoe. Its the straps job to press your foot against the pedal cage so your foot can't slip off the back and to allow you to pull up against it.
The clip is mainly there to hold the strap open so you can get your foot into it easily. You are talking about the toe clip "cage", right, not the pedal cage?
