This shows the Lake sandals compared to Shimano and Exustar. Lakes sort of have toe protection, though not completely over the toes like Keens. I think that's the best you can find.

I just got my 2005 Shimanos (two-strap vs the 2006 three-strap) yesterday and am wearing them at work today to break them in before their inaugural ride
Saturday.
