do you out there have away to get chep but good quality foot peds +straps (like the f-1 have)???

I always make my pads from camping mat. 1 roll costs hardly anything and will have enough foam to make 3 or 4 boards. I use a couple of layers of the foam with ridges under the toes, heels and foot arches to get a contoured pad. Really comfortable but they don't last as long as normal pads ..... your toes start to wear through eventually!
