I'm oldschool... Still run toe clips on my late 70s vintage Frejus racing
bike.  From experience..  No matter how tight the toe straps you can get
free in an emergency.

As to pedal grip/floor pan issues....

First off, Home despot, wallymart, tarjey etc sell the "safety tape".  Clean
the floor pan and pedals properly and stick it on to the floor and brake
pedal.   Unless you kick around like a newborn the heels of the racing shoes
should last for a season or two.

For the brake pedal you can also go old school... And GLUE the stock rubber
pad appropriate to your vintage to the brake pedal.  Contact cement
(industrial style)  typically does the job.

That's worked on my autocrosser for years... Also on my daily driver (driven
harder than the autocrosser ;)

Worst case?  Put the car on a lift and drill lots of small holes through the
floor pan.  Call it a factory drainage system if protested.


Cheers,

Jim
