Comments about Power Grips:
These are a great upgrade for those who want more grip to their pedal but either want to use a regular shoe or aren't psychologically ready for clipless. These offer a better grip than the old toe clips. (Although they require a smidge more intensive adjustment from user to user.)
It's also nice that if you aren't in the Power Grips, they won't make that dreadful scraping-on-pavement noise that an upside-down plastic or metal toe clip would.
The only negative is that they will begin to show their wear pretty quickly. The straps, after all, are a very reinforced, inflexible fabric. So after a few rotations along the pavement they will begin to look furry and frayed.

Comments about Power Grips:
The screw which adjusts the strap broke the first night. The slow customer service tag is NOT jensonUSA but rather the actual company that produced the product. I asked for replacement hardware and it took 3 weeks for me to get a screw.
Aside from the screw problem, the powergrips are actually very good when functioning properly. Just be sure to adjust it properly and trim the strap so it doesn't scrape the road as you turn.
Going uphill definitely was easier and there was definitely more power in the pedal strokes.
Back to cons, while there was increased power because normal shoes were used in conjunction with these pedals there was a bit of discomfort in the soles of my feet and areas the strap held down my foot during longer rides. I switched the clipless and will never look back.
Bottomline: If properly adjusted and used for shorter rides it is an absolute upgrade to your bike. However I suggest you highly consider clipless if you are doing anything more than 10-15 minute rides.
PS using these straps made transitioning to clipless a breeze
Comments about Power Grips:
I've had a set of these for probably twelve years. They've held up very well and I would recommend them for people like myself who have the feet of an ape and thusly cannot buy nifty bike shoes with clips :)

Comments about Power Grips:
These Straps are the best for commuting. The design allows you to easily get your shoes in and the diagonal desin of the strap allows you to change the angle of your shoe for a tighter or looser feel.
I use them on my fixed gear commuter and have had them on for two years and they still work excpetionally well. The only downfall is the adustability of the strap legnth requires tools.

This is the best alternative to purchasing bike pedals + shoes to clip in
Comments about Power Grips:
These are great for clipping in on short-to-medium trips around town in traffic. Good for commuters in street shoes or other urban riders.
