I love my Slipstreams, but on every dive this week, the spring strap was digging into my left heel, causing discomfort bordering on real pain. (My right heel was fine. Weird.)
It's possible I should have gone to XXL instead of XL (I'm a size 11), but they don't seem too big otherwise, so I'd rather not spend on a new pair. Any ideas on padding? My cave guide suggested taking a piece of webbing, putting holes in either end, and sticking the strap through it, which sounds worth a try. Or I thought I could sacrifice some neoprene from an old wetsuit and superglue a tube of it around the strap. Any better ideas, or do I really need to go up a size?
