Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping there would be an upgrade to the current straps that are on there. They are really tough to adjust and don't seem to stay as tight on my feet as well as they should. I even wear booties while wearing them. After I get done swimming, no matter what type of water, I always rinse and clean them with fresh water.
