I've been contemplating getting spring straps for my mares avanti quattros for a while, so since I'm ordering something else from Piranha I figure I may as well get some spring straps at the same time. (their price is cheap enough that it won't bug me if I don't like them or the quality isn't there) I know I'd need the clip style, but other than that, I'm at a bit of a loss. (Clip Style) First, I'm trying to figure out if there's any benefit in paying $3 more per strap for the Pro Clip style than the regular ones other than having a larger heel pad/pull tab. Second, what size to go for? I measured center of the post to center of the other post and got roughly 13.5 inches. Obviously they stretch, but how much (or how little) do I want it to be stretched when the fin is on my foot? I'm thinking probably Large, but a)I'm not entirely sure I'm measuring it right and b)I'm not exactly sure how they're supposed to fit.

I'm thinking that this really shouldn't be that hard, so I'm feeling a little dumb at the moment. Please help.
