    Those look nice.

    I like 'minimal attachment' on my feet as well, and I use these:

    Never seen such a thing - but do they require you to keep forward pressure on your toes, to stay in them? I wouldn't think that would be good.

    i haven't used them yet so i'll let you know. i did put them on last night and pedaled a little on the trainer and they seem nice. i like being able to move my foot around on my pedal and these allow me to. we'll see!!

    When I used to have nothing on my pedals, the only bad part was when my shoes or sneakers were wet from grass, and my feet would unexpectedly slid off the front of the pedal. My pedals and shoes all had plenty of tread and grip, but the wet would make it slippery nonetheless. So I imagine your mini clips would prevent that nicely.
    Oakleaf- I don't think it's a matter of having to be 'in' them- it just keeps your foot from slipping forward off the pedal- I'd think that would be particularly useful when going up steep hills and standing- when you naturally tend to point your toes more.
