boots in straps. There is only one good fix for it.
sand down the grooves of your pads under the straps.




I would advise against that. Maybe find another type of boot if yours are too grippy


I've gone from no bootie's , cos that's for pansies, to always wearing booties. Sick of cutting my feet and pulling out urchin spines. Breaking my little toe was the changing point. A stuck foot in the strap just before jibing was not good. A quick tack was even worse. Tried different booties and they all stuck, then I sanded the grip off, just under the strap. Worked, the perfect amount of grip, just like barefoot. If your always wearing booties, it works well sanding the grip off just under the strap. Now it feels normal. Game changer. Probably not good barefoot.




A game changer, you are so right. I wear booties all the time.

I will not mention the obligatory wide straps. Because this is not a question regardless of booties or not.
