Not sure I'd love having them hanging down when using the flat side of the pedal - both sides would be ripped off or would have caused a crash within a kilometer on a mildly technical trail.
But back in the day? Hell yeah, I know what you mean about the skill required to get your feet in quickly, and then reach down while starting to get going so you could cinch 'em tight and really lock yourself in to instant doom in case of a fall.
