Distel Carbon Climbing Spikes

[Treerover]

Does anyone know if you can replace the rather mobile lower Velcro straps on these spikes with a leather or alternative version.

Mine are knackered and it has always frustrated me that the oblong retaining ring that can twist end on, and the fact the heel strap can slip down under the foot off the heel .

Any ideas chaps ?

I'm pretty sure you can, and I know exactly what you mean, I may well do the same.

I think they can be replaced with the Buckingham leather straps.

Honey Brothers would be able to help you.

 

Let me know how you get on.

.......and of course today my lower strap broke...!!!!! Typical.
So yes I did ‘phone ‘The Brothers’ and have ordered two small turned aluminium eyes that enable leather straps to be fitted (which I already have)


I’ll let you know how comfy they are by comparison .
