Hi Jerry,

my footstraps are on the deck as close to the side as possible. I would always use the strap for my back foot if there is only one, I only put front foot in strap if there are two. I am old sailboarder so toes only is my setup, some how this still works with feet over the side. As you say when you stand back you trap higher, so I think most of the weight is on the ball of the foot, none on the heel over the edge.

Regards Gary.
