Re: Need Comfy Directional Straps
No, directional footstraps should be completely symmetrical.. equally easy to use from either side. Good ones are hard to find since most straps are made for twin tips and are not symmetrical.
Here are some NSI ones from bigwinds.com, although I have not tried these. If your can find the North ones anywhere. they are comfy.

Those are for their twin tips asymmetrical
They look like that symmetrical so you can of couse jibe and use both sides of them

+1 for NSI. Changed all my boards to them. Also JL Pads for the twin tips.
