How to address a heel (back) strap sliding down

A common misconception is that tightening the heel strap only, prevents it from sliding down or moves the foot uncomfortably forward.

  • Actually, the heel strap sliding down is usually a result of both the heel strap and the ankle strap not creating a snug loop around the foot. The position of the foot on the sole, and the tightness of the forefoot strap have no effect on that.

  • Solution: Tighten both the heel strap and ankle strap to create a nice snug loop around your foot.

  • Note that the straps will stretch a bit over a couple of weeks, which might cause the straps to slide down. The easiest solution is to wait until they slide down, then simply tighten the RedLink™ a bit. They'll stop sliding down after a short while.
