Holdfast use metal hardware on the strap, whereas Jol straps use no hardware and are purely multiple layers of hook & eye fabric.... Quit repeating things you've heard other people say without looking into it yourself.... please... “These things are just a rip-off of Hold Fast straps.”

Anyways I guess they work, and look nice on their website, when new - BUT - $50? That may be the most ridiculous thing Ive ever heard.

Check out Power Grips for 22 bucks. Been using em for a couple of years. Same idea but allows you to lock and they're half the price. http://www.rivbike.com/products/list/pedals_and_so_on#product=14-046 Not exactly a new idea. Check out Power Grips for 22 bucks.

I know they're handmade, but damn. I could make these for $10 and I don't know crap about sewing. They look a little banged-up too from the pics. How's the quality? $50 are you serious?

People were whining and moaning about $20 for Feetbelts! If I rode flats I'd be looking at two sets of Feet Belts and lunch before I thought about dropping $50 on those things. $50?
