I see reviews about the top velco straps coming loose and glue from those straps getting everywhere. Is this right? Can anyone share your experience?

I've worn it daily for about a month and haven't had any problems whatsoever

I love the boot! I don't know what they are talking about there isn't any glue involved. The straps never came loose when I was using the boot. The Velcro is very secure there are Velcro strips on the uprights also that hold the straps in place. I hope this was helpful.

I have worn my boot for three weeks and have had no problem with the Velcro or glue. Served my purpose perfectly. For the money, I didn't go wrong.

I didn't have that problem. I wore it for 8 wks. and the Velcro and glue held up.

I've only been wearing mine for three days and haven't noticed anything. I put on and take off two to three times a day also. Wear it average 14-16 hrs a day. Hope this helped

insert the straps into the buckle in the opposite way that you are doing it. i know it seems counter-intuitive - i had the exact same problem! so basically, you are inserting the strap through the "back" side of the buckle (the extra strap will come out like a tongue through a dragon's teeth). once you do that, when the buckle clamps, it will hold. these are really super rings, easy on the hands and durable (i have had them outside all summer). but they really should include some visual instructions. hope this helps!

I actually find the straps a little difficult to adjust...I think moving the straps from one level to the other on the back of the stroller seat is hard and then adjusting the size of the straps is a littler weird too. It is actually the only thing I don't like about the stroller. Every other aspect of it I love. But because of this, the valco may not be the one for you.

I've read that others have had trouble with the top, but I have not. It's always very easy for me to put on securely and it stays in place. Perhaps you have one that has been manufactured improperly? You might want to return it and ask for a replacement.

It is weird and not well designed. A loop would be better.I cross my straps, like Im tying a shoelace at the start, then attach the straps to each other's velcro. Works decent.

The straps do not come off easily. You will have to unthread them. I haven't had a need to clean them yet so I haven't tried it.

I would not recommend buying these straps. Very over priced for what you receive. I returned the straps...because of quality/fit issues.

No, its a cheaply made cloth w velcor straps.They never stay on. If your looking for sturdy, this is not the one to buy.

My Topeak Aero Wedge is the one with the buckle straps, and it has held up well. I had the first one for several years with no problems. I replaced it with a new one recently after the first one was stolen.

The Velcro straps go around the top tube, so it will depend on whether your cables are exposed or if you can route the the straps under those cables. I didn't have any cables to worry about on my Fat Bike, however the top tube was fairly larger, but there was enough length in the strap to go around it. Depending on how large your top tube is, you may be able to leave the straps slightly loose, if you think they will interfere with the cables. Note that there is no strap for the down tube, only that single strap for the seat tube.

Yes, mine does. The Velcro straps let you make it as tight or loose as you want. I make mine really tight and it doesn't slip.

Becareful over tightening the straps because you will break a buckle. BTDT. The straps should be snug, they don't need to be so tight you can pluck them like a bass. put a twist in the front strap so they don't lie flat and this is enough to change the airflow over the strap to stop the buzzing. The rear straps don't need to be twisted because the airflow is already rough by the time it reaches the rear straps

This could be pertinent, depending on your build: I had trouble getting the shoulder straps to be narrow enough side-to-side. I'm 5'6" with a slim/avg build, and the straps just slipped off of my shoulders. Tightening them just made the pretty-stiff straps bend on their edges, so I returned it and got another carrier (Ergo) with softer/more closely set straps straps. Could be just me, though!

You might have an issue with the straps if they are they are too active. So far no problems for me. M y puppy is weighing in at 60+ lbs and he is almost 6 month as old. I have found it to be very durable.

All i can say to your comment is ditto. Putting any kind of shoelaces or anything loose for that matter is purely dangerous. If it unravels (whic. Is more than likely going to happen) both parent and child are going down. I left mine off and am depending solely on the Velcro straps to keep my toddler from having anything to do with the rear wheel.

Once the harness is on, i have had no issues with either of my cats. Large maine coon and a small torty. The velco holding the middle area is wide and doesnt come off easy unless you want it off. I have had to pull my cat back by the leash a couple times and have had no issues. I love these harnesses and do not regret the purchase. My cats love the walks.
