brown leather toe straps?
I'm looking for dark brown leather (a la Brooks saddle brown) toe straps. Any suggestion of where I can find them? Thanks

Get some MKS, or maybe some porous Campy straps, and stain them.

This is my current plan but I'm just looking in case I can buy them.

I bet it could be done with a (used) leather belt, a rivet gun, and some tin snips.

Brooks is coming out some (likely overpriced) brown toe straps.
