I love my Coghlan's Arno Straps. they're like super long toe straps and they have a multitude of uses. they have a metal buckle that's very esy to loosen the strap with and they don't break when it's below freezing.
They come in your choice of 24", 36", 48" or 60" lengths. Being that the strap ir nylon it's very easy to get a longer strap and then shorten it to the exact length you want if you want to shorten a strap.
