I thought they looked a little more fragile (coming from steel toeclips...), but I've been surprised pleasantly thus far.
Platforms certainly have their place, my cruiser has 'em. For anything I pedal over 90rpm, though, I feel more comfortable with something holding my feet down.
They still work, but aren't as rigid as they were when new. They kind of lean over to the side and droop a bit. Takes a little more toe wiggling to get into them. I still like them.
