To tell ya the truth I cant remember the last time I strapped them down but they still remain...
I used to feel insecure on a bike if I wasn't strapped in; my first mountain bike had the same rat traps as my road bikes. But I got used to flat pedals, and MTB-specific soft soled shoes just mesh with the grip pins wherever you place your feet. I do struggle sometimes with treaded boots, if I don't get it right first time it can be annoying trying to get my feet in just the right place.
