I think they stop the strap from coming out of the clip when you loosen them in order to dismount. Great if you have a freewheel and can pause pedalling at the beginnings / ends of rides to tighten / loosen them. I think with a fixed-wheel-fixie-slavebike its hard to adjust them once you're in, so I don't really see much point. Unless the clip isn't really keeping them where you want them and getting looser as you move around.
One of the sometime-roadie people here will surely tell us.
