i don't see why not, but a specific footstrap model might be a bit more helpful, and a foot size

It's time all footstraps were:
1. Wide and comfy, not narrow and painful like the old windsurf straps
2. Easily adjustable on the water, not the hellish layered velcro style
And while we're at it, how about deck pads that are actually pads.

These pad sets are available in dual density. Is that what you are wanting?

Nice Rhyme! 
DaKine Footstraps are decent. I have a set I'll sell you for $20.

Hey Hein,
Why don't you get NSI to make some foot pads that are nice and thick, then you dunk them in hot water for 10 minutes, squish your feet into them and then they set up alah custom foot beds.
presto, super comfy foot beds that actually cradle your feet, don't slip out, and don't cause your arches to ache. |

| Anyone know if the X-lace will work with a single screw/bolt? |

I don't really appreciate Hein hijacking every strap/pad thread... but I will plug his NSI pads and say they have a cool memory foam that does adjust to your foot after awhile. |

I got these - thats why I don't ride staps anymore 
definetely can feel the hits on the top of the feet - know the kids feets are still growing but those Liquid Force straps where quite a step up from these
