	Backstraps? Do you mean toe loops? I cant speak from first hand experiance but Ive come across a number of fans of the 'shock' fruitloops. I seem to remember they were developed by a certain Mr Hiscocks and they certainly look the mutts (If only looks were everything..) I cant find the web address right now and I dont think ive seen them for sale outside of their site but Im sure someone will have heard of them and can point you in the right direction

	SImon Hiscocks' website which sells the fantastic footloops is www.sh-ock.com which seems to re-direct to http://www.ruleone.co.uk/. Trust me, once you've tried them, nothing else comes close. We've fited them to all the boats we've had this year. Well worth saving up for and the PERFECT christmas present!

	We use windsurfer toe-straps. Nice and comfy, easy to get in and out of and if you go a "trip down the mine", your ankles and feet will be okay. The shock footloops look good too but not tried them yet....

	Most musto sailors use a bit of reinforced plastic tube with a bit of string down the middle. Cheap and effective ...

	You can also use cut-up rubber car mats. I'm about to fit them to my Cherub, I'll let you know if they work or not!
