Those Vanhanks arr symetrical, so work fine for switching. They feel very similar to the Dakine Vario. The thinner straps like Dakine Primo kill the bridge of my feet, especially when jumping and riding toeside alot
Think we all have different preferences, because of different feet shapes. Mine is long and narrow size 12 with a low bridge so i prefer wider straps that can twist (allow pointing front toe more forward). Can imagine wider or rounder feet will be fine with narrower stiff straps.
