I made myself a pair of stainless steel fin straps and really like them. I also have looked around for the following combination: very light weight (for travel purposes), medium size and stiffness, with SS straps. Can't find any such beast. The first problem is that I cannot find a company making SS straps either standard or optional on a pair of fins. As far as I can tell, all open heel fins are sold with typical straps designed and often patented by the particular manufacturer. I don't want to pay twice for straps, particularly when the originals are more prone to failure than the SS straps. Anybody else want SS as a standard fin option?
