what do folks with small feet (size 5) do for foot retention? it is the sole reason i continuously use clipless pedals.

MKS makes XS clips, but you probably knew that.
Here they are at some Australian shop.
Whether anybody in this country sells 'em, I do not know.

If you’re looking for single strap, I would suggest trying the MKS, if XS is not available at your bike shop of choice, I am sure they can order it for you. I prefer these to the Soma toe clips I have (whichever Somas I got are longer and really narrow toward the toe; had to shove my combat boots in them for a few days to stretch it out, which can also be done by hand but I thought they were going to snap if I continued to stretch them this way). If you already have pedals, make sure whatever you get is compatible.

these seem like they could work since they don't have a limit in how much i could pull. i'll have try to know.

Ive tried them on other people bikes, I thought they were comfortable.
If I ever get different pedals, (they require BMX platforms) I will get some.

I have been curious about these as well but never got around to making the purchase. Got mixed reviews from friends.
mechazawa - are you/will you be running brakes on your bike? if not, i am not sure these are the best choice based on what i have read on other bike forums.

This site also sells mks pedals with their own custom straps, the only ones i found that did not need the bigger bmx style platform pedals.

Nicki has a tiny foot too so i got her a pair of MKS sylvan track pedals, Cadence Double straps, and a pair of Soma Oppy-XX four gate toe clips(sm/med).
she has not complained about them so thats a good sign...maybe try those

Yo Stella, check out this link. I know a few ppl that tried this and it worked for them. Got to use SPD compatible pedals tho. I prefer the TIME ATACs, but whatever...
