Need straps that expand and shrink with good range to go from bare feet to 6mm booties in the winter. Also want them to stand up tall and stay open for foil footwork. Anyone got any good recommendations?

Unfortunately not easily adjustable I don't think. I am leaning toward Dakine Pro Form.

I use a pair of twin tip foot straps for the front two, for pretty much the same reasons you have stated.

I have the really cheap LF straps. Not the fancy $40 ones but the cheap $10 ones. They stand up nicely and have plenty of room to allow for errors on foot switches. They aren’t adjustable but I prefer my straps really loose so it works for me.

Shinn Sneaker LTD straps. Easy to adjust, very loose. I use them on various foil boards.

I'd like to get my hands on a set of the Watts releaseable straps.
I have a set of those Dakine Contour straps, they're too small w/ booties imo, although I do like loose straps.
I'm currently using a set of Zeeko surf straps. Easily adjusted w/ velcro & good for loose fit w/ booties.
