boots in straps. There is only one good fix for it.
sand down the grooves of your pads under the straps.
I would advise against that. Maybe find another type of boot if yours are too grippy
have you tried? or how can you advice against it?
I have not, as there's no need for it in my case. I think if you can't get in or out of the straps when wearing boots, it's because of the boots and not pads. Sanding the pads can't be undone, replacing boots is easy. Surely the pads might get a bit more slippery over time when using boots all the time, so sanding it makes it worse.
It might also affect resell value if that matters.
Most of the guys I sail will wear boots, and none of them have ever sanded their pads. What I meant to say is that it shouldn't be needed to have a good experience when wearing boots.
