Foot (toe) straps are the fixed-gear rider’s alternative to clipless pedals, and while many listings bundle a pedal with the strap, plenty of dedicated fixed-gear and track brands sell the strap alone for pedals you already own. These eight are all real, currently sold standalone straps.

Buying tips
- These are straps only — they attach to platform pedals you already have, so confirm your pedals have strap-mounting holes before buying (most flat fixed-gear pedals do).
- A double-strap design (Origin8 Pro-Grip II) holds your foot more securely for aggressive or brakeless riding than a single wide strap.
- Power Grips’ diagonal strap is the one system here designed to work with ordinary sneakers rather than assuming a stiffer cycling shoe.
- Budget triple-layer straps (ONIPAX, Pure Cycles) are a fine starting point if you’re not sure you’ll stick with strap-in riding versus clipless pedals; Hold Fast or BLB are the upgrade once you know you like it.
