Where can I get SnowBoot Straps

For a conversion to a C-1 boat. Is there a web site that sell these? I don't want to pay 75$ for the binding only to get the straps.

Any info appreciated!

Thanks,

Paul

I've been able to get them at a local shop, but I have seen them online somewhere... definately don't need to buy the whole binding.
You probably want to get the ankle straps as opposed to toe straps.

Toe straps (often of the "cap strap" style) are easy to find online, but that's not what you want. You want the strap that goes over the instep. Those are harder to find, and , as Larry said, it'll probably be easier to find them at a local shop, but if as the season gets closer there will be more available online.

HTH,

I got mine at a local shop in the spring - they were replacing their rental bindings. I paid for a whole binding assembly what I would have paid for ankle straps alone. Haven't figured out what to do with the toe straps yet, but I'll think of something...

Sad, I know, but I spent an entire day at the local shop going through their box of old straps :)
Some toe straps can work for knee straps, but most are too small.
I'm currently using the Burton Ultra Cap straps for my knees and they seem really good. They're too small for thigh straps though.

Thanks for all the advice!
