Toe clip/strap reccommendation

I've decided to go with toe clips for my new fixie. I'm looking for recommendations for the clips and straps. I was thinking about going with the MKS clips, since I can just add it on to a current order I have with IRO. However, I'm looking for straps that are made from a synthetic material.

As a side note, I'm thinking about getting the MKS Sylvan track pedals at the same time, since the bundle that IRO offers seems like a really good deal.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The IRO pedal/clip/strap deal at $38 is great.
i don't know where you can get the same thing for cheaper.

I emailed Tony yesterday asking about black straps and he said he could swap in black nylon instead of the EAI leather.

House of Track is horrible. I ordered a set of Nitto B-123 bars
from them and they were delivered to my place 2 months after
I paid. But they were only delivered after

- I called them at least 15 times with no answer
- In the 5th week, I called and a lady answered and told me that
the bars were out of stock and that the refunded me the money,
Which they had not. They said they would call me back
- After 1 week of them not calling, I called back again. They said
"Uhhh.. we're looking into that. I'll call you back." Again, no call
back.
- Start a paypal dispute and win the dispute. H.O.T. Does not pay up
- I write the whole thing off as a lesson not to do business with H.O.T.

But them out of the blue, 2 months after the whole thing started,
I got the bars with a set of Soyo grips for my trouble..... Geez, thanks
for the grips.
