toshi double strap length?
so my soma vegan doubles finally broke yesterday (after six months of winter riding). i put singles back on my bike this morning, and i'm not digging the step down. so i wanna get some toshis, but here's my problem: i have big feet. toe straps are usually way short. this wasn't a problem with the soma doubles, but my ale singles i'm running right now are so short i almost don't fit in them.
so here's my question: how long are toshi doubles? no one lists the length on their sites, and i don't want to drop a bill on some straps and then find out they don't fit my feet. so can someone who toshis measure them or something? or point me in the direction of a retailer who lists the size?

mine are 17.5 inches long. unless you are wearing boots or other high volume shoes you should be fine with Toshi doubles' length.
Even with semi-bulky size 12 sneakers, there is room to spare with my Toshi's.

I think the ALE straps are great, I liked them. The pad on the side makes it kind of feel like doubles. As for the toshis, they are hella long. I had to cut mine way down.

ales are decent for the price. but for what it's worth...
i've snapped one ale, and broken the buckle on another. i've broken more ales than any other strap.
nate--thanks. now i just gotta go home and work this weekend so i can order my new doubles and some new cages (cause i bent my driveside cage down around my foot and it's impossible to bend it back straight).
