  1. cgi.ebay.comeBayISAPI.dll they look like they could take clips
    they have front holes and it looks like a strap will go through them. but the MB toe clips I tried

    The front holes aren't visible in the photos, so it's difficult to judge. Also, I see no side holes
    for normal routing of the straps. My guess is that the pedals aren't meant for toe clips.

    But I'm just guessing. It looks like the seller specializes in pedals. What did he say about
    installing toe clips? Seems like he should know.

    If you get no help there, you may be able to modify ordinary steel toe clips to fit. They'd have to
    be bent to fit the slant of that front surface. And I suppose you could drill the sides of the
    pedals, if necessary, to pass the strap through.

    But it may be easier to buy pedals that readily accept clips and straps, if that's what you
    really want.

    (BTW, don't let the WebTV users get you down.)

    they have the front holes. the strap can go through the D in the dx on both sides. but the bike shop
    called shimano and they don't have a clip that will fit
    it.

    the problem with the plastic clips is they hit the underside of the protruding top of the pedal. so
    metal may fit. I need to find some locally and check.

    I bought these as my feet were slipping off the pedals and hanging off. but a lot of that are these
    shoes. I really need to get a new pair. these pedals are great for around town with the broad
    surface and great grip.
