As with all of their hiking straps, the Zhik 470 Hiking Strap is one of the best available on the market. It is designed to work with the Zhik Boot range (however it will work really well without Zhik booties). The grip on the bottom of the strap effectively locks with the grip on the toe of the bootie. The biggest benefit is that hiking requires less effort, giving you more energy to perform on the water.
