This hiking strap is designed to work closely with the ZhikBoots range, with ZhikGrip on the underside of the strap marrying with the ZhikGrip on the toe of the boots. You will be more locked into the boat dynamics, and should be able to relax the foot a little more while hiking.

However, even if you haven't yet upgraded to ZhikBoots, the ZhikGrip makes an amazing difference to the comfort and performance of this hiking strap - an absolute MUST HAVE upgrade to any level of boat.
