If you don’t use clipless pedals and shoes these are the straps for you! No special shoes required. Power Grips Pedal strap set easily attaches to your existing pedals. The straps fit most metal cage pedals that accept standard toe clips and straps. The set comes with all necessary hardware. Includes a micro-adjustable bracket which easily adjusts to fit different shoe sizes with a standard 4mm allen wrench. Available in Large and extra large; the extra large straps fit shoe sizes 12 or larger (depending on shoe style).
I have had and liked several cleated shoes, but had problems finding a bike shoe that would be used for more walking than riding. Gave Powergrips a try, and overall I like them. Only 2 issues for me; I have found it difficult to consistently get the tip of my shoe under the strap, even with adjustments. Also, the outboard strap clamp is a little menace, sometimes catching my leg when walking the bike. Some learning and further adjustment should solve my issues, and just want to point out they may not be perfect for you right out of the package.

They were easy to apply to the pedals and they were also very well made . However for about the first five rides they were a little noisy , they made a real loud squish sound . But now that has subsided and everything is nice and quite . I think all it was they needed a little break-in period.
Work well for me

I have used power grips for the past 4 years (approximately 12,000 miles). They have worked very well for me, replacing the clipped in pedals I used to use for commuting. The set I just purchased will be replacing the current set on my bike but perhaps in another year we shall see.
Great for me

I've tried biking shoes before but couldn't get comfortable in them. They really hurt my toes. Power grips are the best alternative for me.

I’m not a cleat guy. 2 touring bikes. I’ve tried numerous alternatives over the years. These are DEFINITELY my favorite.

I have a pair on each of my bikes. They are a good compromise between cleats and traditional cages. Getting the second foot in is occasionally tricky, even after all this time - otherwise my rating would have been a 5.

These straps help me climb better. They were easy to install. I can get into and out of them quickly and easily when riding.

I have used these for years, they do wear out after about 10 years. If you ride around town a lot or don't like carrying an extra pair of shoes these can't be beat.

i tried a set of these on my mountain bike. I just could not get used to getting the second foot in during rough sections. Will stick to clips, but lots of folks love them.

Great for recumbent riders, gives all the power of cleats on a recumbent and now you can forget about fall.
Your foot is down in an instant when that pedestrian steps out without looking.

I've been using the grips for a couple of months, including on a recent 4 day trip. They perform as promised; my feet slide out easily at stops. I have a little trouble getting the second foot inserted fully while riding, but I've learned how to safely do that. I installed them on my pedals without any problems, but they don't work on all pedals so buyer beware.
Power Grips Review

Power grips solve the problem of needing two pair of shoes. On a 50 mile ride this weekend, I found that I had no loss of power on the pull stroke versus clips. My only problem, which is something I can get used to, is having to concentrate on not getting my feet too far forward and keeping my feet alligned. Clips take care of these two placement problems automatically.

The Power Grips were relatively easy to install.
I have been using them for two weeks and am only now getting a feel for accurately inserting my feet into them from a stop. They are nice and snug without being too tight and after using them more I might raise my rating. But for now, they are about the same as regular clips.
Great product.

I bought these half way on a tour across Canada in 2006. They worked so well I sent my SPD peddles and shoes home. They are lighter than clipless and work almost as well. They don't work on all flat pedles because of the mounting system, you may want to buy them and have them fitted at a bike shop rather than mail order.
