Broken finger loop on spring strap

[amw5g]

The missus broke the rubber finger loop on her fin spring strap yesterday. Any chance this is repairable? She said she'll just grab the strap itself from now on, but if it can be remedied, I'd give it a go.

She seems to have the remedy.

What brand is it? I would think not, repairable that is. You should be able to order another from manufacturer or dealer, I have done so with my Apollo springs before. Good luck.

I have two sets of spring straps from two different companies, and neither one had a finger loop to begin with. I am guessing she should be OK.

If you really like the loop (and they're handy for hanging the fins up) and the rubber cover on the spring has some slots in it, as ours do, you can replace the loop with a heavy-duty zip tie and it works quite well. This is what my husband has done with his.

My Jets have no loops, but my EXP's do. With or without, no big deal. You can always take some 550 cord and make your own loop.

E-Z Spring straps. As evad pointed out and boulderjohn seconded, I expect no ill effects. I do like the couple of ideas on a DIY remedy, in case she finds down the road that the loops did provide some benefit.
Much obliged to all

ZIp ties wrapped with electrical tape to keep things tidy. works great.

Never mind.

I have one loop broke on my fins and I just hook my finger under the strap itself, no biggie. When the other one breaks (if it ever does), I might try making a loop from cord.
