Thanks, Nic. However, I’ll keep my non-folding and folding pedals. I’ll try the little piece of wood underneath the pedal and a nail through shoe, foot and into wood.

Hi Michael – all valid points. Here at Cheeky we’ll just set the strap length up for default Birkenstock size and leave it at that.

Hi Boaz – We’d need to replace at least the non-folding pedal, and the folding pedal might be a bit awkward due to the large inboard flange. We can give it a go though.

I’ve been using these for years and agree with those reviews. My first pair wore out after about 5 years of daily riding; my second pair are still going strong.

PowerGrips are ok generally. They’re a lot better if you always wear the same pair of shoes to ride, though. Different shoes have dramatically different cross sections which will fit into the straps better or worse.

It’s not very (at all?) convenient to adjust the length of the Power Grip each time you change shoes. It requires using a wrench.

Mine are bright yellow, which in retrospect, look ugly as hell.
