Q: How long are the straps?
A: The One-Size-Fits-All are a pair of 15 inch straps with 5 inches of adjustable Velcro.
Q: Do the straps have elasticity?
A: There is a slight elasticity in the straps when stretching them out, which gives a comfortable, unconfined feel. However, the tensile strength is relatively high which provides for a consistent fit every time.
Q: Can the straps damage the boots?
A: The portion of the strap that makes contact with the boot is made out of a smooth, soft polyester material that glides across the boot shaft surface. Like any wear and tear that is expected from simply using your boots, creases on the boot shaft may develop as a result of using the straps.
