MKS makes those caged toe clips as well. They go for $18-25 depending where you find them. Cheapest price I saw was on Amazon from Niagra Bike.

I ripped an old Specialized toe clip in half in a crash last fall and saw these while I was looking for what to replace them with.

The caged toe clips are much stiffer than standard toe clips, which I've always found to be somewhat flexible. So far I like them.

Wow! How did I not notice these ever before? My favorite toe clips have been the resin CatEye ones. Not that I'm any sort of expert..

I ordered a set of the King Cage ones on clearance for $20. But those MKS ones look pretty much identical. Thank you very much for the heads-up!

I really like them.

I ordered a set for my Croll, but they haven't arrived yet.

They look quite comfortable.

I got really lucky in that I found these on clearance from Price Point for $20.

The MKS ones look just as nice, from what I've seen.

Yes, that's a great deal.

I'm partial to King products.

Those sure do look nice. But for that kind of coin...out of my budget range. Glad I still have three pairs of Dettos.
I really like those King toe clips.

Since this is the place to put it, throwing up the toe-clip touring shoes I sprung for my own birthday last summer, and am very fond of these:
