If you are inclined to use the "old school" toe clips, straps and
cleats, here's an idea I used back in the pre-clipless day for security
against accidental release: I would cut a couple of one-inch sections
of leather toe strap and glue (Barge Cement) them onto the outside of
the shoe, over the little toe area, just in front of where the real toe
strap would lie. This creates a nice bump/stop for the strap to lie up
against. Leading edge, for when putting foot into pedal/toe clip would
be beveled, so resistance against strap only for release, not
insertion. So, when strapped in, cinched down, there was no way the
shoe could exit the pedal/toe clip without first reaching down and
flicking the toe strap buckle open. (This assumes the cleat is in great
shape, nice and deep slot.)

Binda Extra, no plastic straps, please!
