Here's how I do
not use them - in toe clips, but I love to have them on hand for lots of things- stabilizing the front wheel while the bike is in the work stand, stabilizing the front wheel when the bike is in the bike rack, I have one that connects my Carradice bag to the bagman support for more stability. And not long ago I used some to immobilize a crank so I could get a stubborn rusty pedal off. LOVE toe straps!!
