I was riding along last night and did a light skip to stop at a stop sign, when all the sudden my left foot came out of my toe clip. Didn't think anything of it, stuck my foot back in and rode the remaining 50yds. to ye olde local brewery. On my way to my next destination, I felt pretty loose in the toe clip and looked down only to realize my sweet vintage Christophe toe strap had torn in half on the inside. The toe straps aren't even that old (they were vintage but they were basically NOS).

I've had Soma straps before, but didn't like a) how long they were and b) how quickly/badly they stretched out. I'm curious if this has been an issue for anyone else... no one else I ride with seems to have problems. I'm thinking of trying woven nylon straps. It seems to me they wouldn't stretch nearly as much, though I could see them fraying and snapping... thoughts?
