They seem valid but weight might be an issue with these pads.

conceptually, they look good. but in reality they both have straps that would seem to be flapping around in the water on your heel edge... whacking you in the heels/ankles.

Thanks Kashi, I didnt spot that.
I suppose if they have been around that long, and no one has reviewd them they cannot be that great.

Might just have to go with the LF comp lace or the Dakine X-Lace
