I would sew it but webbing seems pretty hard to sew
Soft webbing such as this is pretty easy to sew. You could even hand tack it with outdoor rated nylon thread and a large needle from your local fabric store. But the average sewing machine could handle it too.

Its the resin impregnated webbing like the typical dive harness that is a bear to stitch.
 
aluminum rivits work too.
 
Take it to your local shoemaker. About 5 quid should seal the deal.
 
I was suggesting sewing the soft webbing. I agree the stiff stuff might put blisters on your sewing fingers.
 
I use a simpler solution:

Those Italians... :shakehead: 69 Euros. That’s more than the cost of some of the fins that they go on. :)

I just have standard springs. I reach down and pull them on and off pretty easily. I haven’t ever had any sort of loop system so I guess I haven’t gotten spoiled by other systems.
