Best footstraps for small lady feet?

Hi All - relatively new to the Bay Area, and am wondering if any one out there has come across good footstraps for girls (they don't necessarily need to be women-specific, but something that adjusts smaller than your typical dude ones!). I have pretty narrow feet and can't seem to get most straps down tight enough to keep my board on!

Would love your suggestions! Liquid force makes a women's footstrap, but that's the only one I've seen so far. Has anyone tried it?

Looking forward to meeting you all & finding footstraps that fit!

Welcome, Cupcake/Julie!

I too have small feet (men's 7-8, 38-39 euro). I use the stock straps that came with my dimitri board (obscure, I know, but RVV can give you more details) work well enough, but I have them tightened all the way down when not using booties.

When travelling, I've rented a board with women's specific bindings (cabrhina, don't recall the model) which I would recommend. They had laces which were great for adjustments. I'm guessing they are comparable to the current sync straps that come as standard or small.

Also, consider Litewave Dave's straps (aka sandles). He touts that they are great for small feet (and large feet too, i understand) so they would also be worth looking into.

Liquid Force Stilettos or Grom pad/strap sets are the way to go. They are both sized for womens feet. My fiancee has two boards, one with the grom and one with stilettos. The grom set comes in crazy colors.

Yeah, my girlfriend has the LF Luxury Small straps (basically the same as the stilletos or the Grom, just different color). They fit her great, and have a nice big toe bar so you can hold on with your toes.

she's a size 6...I still had to crank em down tight, but she's happy with them.

this is what she has: http://liquidforcekites.com/product/str ... ds/luxury/

in the small/medium size. This year they didn't make a grom strap, but the girls strap is called the "bliss"....basically the same, so just get what matches your overall color scheme :-)
