Default Best boot straps ?

I bought H-D boot straps few years ago but they are all stretched out and loose. Not as secure as they were new. Looking for something that is reasonably priced, tough and will last longer. Any recommendations? thank you.

That’s a new one on me too. WTF are boot straps....something you tie your boots down to your foot pegs (don’t seem safe)?

I believe the following link is what you are referring too. I took the clips off a pair and placed a piece of leather on mine. I attach to the front of the pant leg and the beginning of the lacing on my boot. That works better for me than running a piece of leather or elastic under my boot. YMMV.
