Recommend some toe clips?

I'm looking for some toe clips that place the strap farther back on my foot (so the strap sits closer to my shin). Plastic, metal, double, or single are all fine. I've tried 'CKC' metal cages and MKS cages, but they are too short. My favorites are a no name plastic pair because they are longer and I can actually pull up on the pedals without my foot falling out. Thanks for your help.

a larger size will let your foot slide in farther essentially doing this same thing, although it would center the pedal farther back under your foot too. size large mks singles set the ball of my foot right over the spindle and the strap about half way up my foot which is plenty secure, and I'm a size twelve.

+1. Been using these for years and more comfy than steel cages imo.

Although I like steel clips (see, even I can be vain), I've had a lot of good times with plastic and they'll be replacing the single footstrap on Rusty as soon as I get around to doing it.

I like the steel Campagnolo clips with the shoe guide to prevent your toe from snagging on the pedal cage, but they don't fit all pedals:

I've used YNOT Pedal Straps. They have served me well.

The nicest pea I've tried are the Soma steel ones. They come in double or single.
