Coloured toe straps: Now solved

[ANTONISH]

I'm not sure why you would want nylon straps - from what I've seen of them they are rather floppy and tend to hold the shoe when pulling out.

Thanks, all. It's great to have so much help so quickly.

I've now ordered these.

Nylon straps are I think, not quite so nice to use as leather ones. They are usually a lot floppier like you say. In fact I think you really need clips with two eyes if you want to have nylon straps. I think the buckles work differently on nylon straps, and that they can stretch differently too. I rode with clips and straps for about 20 years and I didn't ever get on well with nylon straps.

And one pair has fallen through.

More suggestions for nylon, please.

Same for me - only tried nylons once and from then on it was leather only,.... Ooer Missus!
