@lnxw48a1@nu.federati.net I have not used clips or straps but I did have some "Look" pedals with the proper shoes and they could also be an issue if you didn't/couldn't get out of them fast enough and on top of that, with the cleat (plastic) on the bottom of the shoes and sticking out past the sole they were like being on ice. I didn't have any injury's using them and one point they were on my exercise bike so getting in and out wasn't an issue. I don't think I would use them now, esp on the street.
