i know doubles should definitely not cost as much as they do. I got 2 sets of christophe lapize leather straps for 10 bucks and taped them together to make my own doubles. I like clipless better though

How about this, myself and a whole lot of my friends use them and I like them quite a bit.

im not a fan of leather straps... ive had the christope/zefal/mks leather ones and they wear out quick... the leather cracks at the bends, they lose the toe-box shape and get all flaccid and floppy
i like simple heavy cotton ones

I have a pair of laminated EAI straps that have lasted longer than the set of MKS that I had before them.
