The straps are held in place by two knobs that extend sideways from either side of each pedal. To tighten or loosen a strap, grasp the outer end, and pull it back, away from the knob, until the strap slides off. Rest the foot on the pedal, and wrap the strap over the foot to determine the proper length.
