50 lb seems a bit much but your second link is 18 lb so I think I'll try that weight range first
Fu**'n magnets, how do they work?

Hard drive magnets should be plenty strong.

Yes, this. You can bond on the exact amount you need to do the job. Magnets pull hard but slide easy, velcro will stick.

I use velcro for a lot of things but with the amount of removal I go through it would all wear out in about a month also it tends to collect a lot of gross detritus

Depending on the forces involved in your leg spasms, I think the hardest part will be keeping the magnet in your shoe from breaking away from the epoxy and sticking to the magnet in the footrest. It will work better if you can mount the shoe magnet from the inside of your shoe, and maybe fill the inside hole with caulk.

What the shit is this...
I think clipping them in would be challenging for Adam.
Also, they would look weird with his suits.

Thought about it, but it was going to be too expensive to scavenge them out of the bicycle shoes and pedals compared to the cheap magnets trial.
Nick is right also that it would be hard for me/ caregiver to figure them out

I'll try that but I'm not sure how deep into my shoe I have to drill for that to still hold with the 18 lb magnet
I'd like to think that some 1/2" neodymium magnets would hold pretty fast. I don't know what the shear force of your spasms are, but I use them to hold my barn door style closet doors in place, and they're about 50 lbs a piece.
Other consideration: 3m Dual Lock. It's like velcro but 100x better. It wont gum up with fibers or dirt or whatever else, but it could be damaged if your shoes or chair steps encounter any alternate forces. Also your caregiver will need to positively lock your shoes to the chair.
Oblique consideration: There are some electromagnetic door strikes that only take 12v. You should be able to power them from one of your chair batteries (I think they're 12v) and they hold so goddamn fast they're near impossible to break. They'd require some machining of your pedals and some extra wiring, but they might do the trick.

I use magnets in my shop all the time. Check out www.magnetshop.com
That's where I buy all my goods. I think you should just go with Neodymium ring magnets. That way you can just screw them to whatever you want through the center. Don't go too big though. I have a few 2" rings that would take a finger tip off if they snapped together with you in the middle.

Agreed. I think that he considered velcro on the bottom of his feet, but a velcro strap can be quite strong and very quick to deploy. Many ways to do it, just need to fasten double-sided velcro to where he wants to secure his feet.

The neo type magnets are very strong, depending on thickness and diameter.
I bought these N45 1.5" x 1/8 and it's very tough to separate them. Epoxying them to the face of the foot bed and the bottom of your show will help.

What about pedal straps?
