ive ridden them for a long time, i still find them awkward. the only way i can get in them tightly is to lean down and pull them onto my foot with my hands. otherwise thier just too loose to do anything useful.
i made some power grips last week, and i love them. i still have to lean down to get them on tight, but its much easier to do, and i can do it without looking. because of the self tightening action you can wear any shoes and your always as tight as can be, unlike straps which are always a bit loose so that you can get into the bloody things.
