Straps are a compromise between efficiency and safety. They are firmly mounted/attached to the pedals and either tied just as tightly around the shoes, which poses a risk in traffic, as it is not always possible to simply get out in an emergency. During planned stops, the connection must be released manually. Or they are slightly loosened, meaning the shoe is not firmly connected to the pedal. With an absolutely firm connection from the foot to the pedal that can still be released quickly and safely at any time, ClipClap  combines the functionality of a conventional clip-in shoe with the comfort of a casual shoe in an innovative way.
