Bought a pair of used Quattros just because of the already installed spring straps for 20€ and they work great.

These have the problem illustrated in that old thread, shown here.
 
why would I want to consider these springs over a Mares OEM strap? I always enjoyed the release buckle that extends the strap but does not release it. Always worked well for me getting back on the boat, etc....
I just replaced the straps on a set of Quattros I've have since 2001. The plastic release buckle snapped when I was releasing it. You can get mares straps for $45 on Amazon.

I am out looking for a middle ages soldier guy on his battlement that needs a new string
for his crossbow
 
Actually just recently bought new Quatro Avanti's and these straps from XS snap right on and work perfectly. I'm a size 12 and the XL length of the straps are perfect for both my hard sole wetsuit booties and my drysuit boots.

I have a pair of Mares Bungee Straps on my Quattros and love them.
Changed back to bungee straps for the diving I am doing .

The new Mares Quatroes come stock with those exact bungie straps.... I just like the spring straps better and so now the bungies are in my save a dive kit...... Actually one of them lives in my BC pocket, along with other save-a-dive stuff like extra mask strap, o-rings, etc..... for Bonaire shore diving!
 
Has anyone purchased spring fin straps that fit on the Mares Quattro Avanti fins?
Yes. Me! I have the ones mentioned right below this....
Highland makes these.
I have been using the Highland ones for 550 dives and love them. I also carry spares. They come sized (well, when I bought them they did) so be sure to measure and pick the right ones.
