I ride with my heels on the floorboards and toes up also and have had my pants legs blow up occasionally depending on what pair of bootcut jeans I have on. It was bugging the crap out of me a few years ago up in Oregon on a 2 week ride so I bought some straps at a HD Dealership to try. They worked pretty good but a few days into it, I found that the strap clamp wore a pretty bad scuff mark into my primary case cover. Haven't used them since......... I deal with the pants leg blowing up.

I guess the old phrase, "I learn something new every day" applies.

This thread is absurd. What are the best boot straps? It's a $10 item. Buy a set and try them. If you don't like them what are you out, $10?

Not to hijack the thread but I need new laces for my boots. What are the best shoelaces for my boots?
