Hi all, got a question,
Been riding shinn srs straps with a ratchet system and quite like it but I find it hard to decide how do I like it set up.
How do you all ride your starps tight, loose or very loose.
If i have it quite loose I like it most but if riding toeside or doing small downwind rides with this setup, top edge of the strap seems like its made of still and really cuts in my foot and obviously hurt.
Hope you could help a lil. Cheers
My feet are size 7 UK, 41 Eu if it helps and only right one gets that weird pain. Maybe its just my build..

Eat plenty of Liver, or anything high in Iron, then get some of those new Magnetic straps, !!

Re: Footstraps tight or loose
I ride with my straps loose. I basically put my foot in the strap and if they're too tight I give the straps a really good stretch in all directions with my foot to loosen them before finally fastening them. So loose enough to pull my foot out if required without issue and tight enough to still hold onto the board with my feet.
If your straps feel like they're cutting you, then I'd recommend looking into another brand to find something that works better for you.
