In a sailing dinghy, there would be more fittings such as fairleads, horse, shroud plates, mast step, toe straps and so on.

Mr. Badgley's favorite is an open sandal with a crystal butterfly on the toe strap and another on the ankle strap.

This technique required bindings that followed the skier's foot through a wider range of motion, but loosening the toe strap simply made it fall off.

To address this, a second strap was added that looped from the toe around the heel of the boot, pulling it forward into the toe strap.

The heel strap pulled the boot forward into the toe strap, so the ski would not fall off when pressure was released on the toe.

It also allowed the ski to be directed by twisting the foot, transmitting the torsion to the ski through the toe strap.

During the 1930s it was discovered that an improvement could be made by removing the toe strap from a typical Kandahar binding.

One form of the platform pedal had a large flat top area and flat bottom for use with toe clips and toe straps.

His left sneaker finds the toe strap of the only pedal.
