I run my straps super tight, so have to really wriggle my feet to get them in and comfortable. Mates that have used my board ask how small are my feet, but I just like a really tight fit
Technique can also reduce the foot out problem, as I used to pull my rear foot out during the pop, as I was trying too hard. With the loop, just got to turn the brain off, hang on and sometimes get ready for an interesting landing.
