Just using the strap is far from ideal, I agree. But If im riding to the pub, 15 mins away, I like to be able to stop well after a couple of ales, and having no straps, or spds means no back brake.
As for messy, I dont notice. Also, my bike is kept in a bike storage room, so dont want to have to carry spare pedals down everytime!
Anyway, each to their own, its just something I do which works for me. I ideally all my shoes would have cleats hidden in them!
