you should twist the straps through the cage as well, this will help keep them from slipping

You can also use the button further down the strap to keep it from getting too loose.

Check out the FGG...they did an article about 13 pedals/clips/straps awhile ago:

+ a billions its also important to use a little file or emery cloth to remove the flash fromt the pedal body flash is left over slag from the molding process and can be sharp causing straps to fail
mks is pretty bad about it especially their cheaper pedals

i tried twisting my toshi singles under my gr-9s - no way it's going to happen. unless i am missing something, the toshi straps are way to stiff to twist with such a narrow pedal. sucks, because they are super long running them straight. there is like 4+ inches of extra strap past the clip.
