Cinelli pedal straps???

Dont want to buy cycling shoes, dont want to use clipless pedals. But I saw these when browsing Wiggle, they do the same as clipless pedals right? Or am I wasting my money? Cheers 
Ps they dont come with the ugly censored pedals do they? They fit other flat pedals right?

Unless of course your joking eh
Nope wasn't joking... Just saw them and thought it was a great alternative?

If you just want the strap to keep your shoe on the pedal in the right place then they'll be OK.
Trickier to get into than double sided clipless though, and you wont be able to pull up on the pedal as much if you climb.
You're a fool. Stick to walking or get a cab.
Maybe strapless plastic half clips will be better:
Or twist in Power Grips that you don't need to tighten and release - but you need to twist in and out of like clipless:
The world would be so much better if we were all complying with this...
The only advantage of these newfangled straps is, possibly, if you are riding shiny leather shoes and dont want to scratch the uppers.
+1... I don't tighten the straps when I use them... I've done the Eroica 3 times and never felt the need to be strapped tighter...
People are too needy, that's the reality
I did plenty of cycling with loose straps before I started tightening them, but whilst a loose strap will always be easier and safer, I have never failed to weasel my foot out of a tightened one in an unanticipated stop. I run clipless on my main bike now but I do really like the feel of a tight leather strap for cycling. I missed it to start with.

I don't miss my numb winter feet from the compression of the straps and neither searching around for extra long Christophe toe clips - clipless is much easier and better with size 49 shoes.

I have to admit, I agree with you on this one!
