Introducing Padics Footstraps: Comfort & Fit for Every Rider

At Zephyr Kiteboarding, we are constantly on the hunt for gear that enhances our time spent on the water. If you’re searching for a new footstrap that combines superior comfort with an impeccable fit, then Padics Footstraps could be a good option for you. These footstraps are thoughtfully designed with ergonomic principles in mind, ensuring that each session on your board is as enjoyable as possible. Their innovative design provides exceptional support, allowing you to kite for longer periods without experiencing discomfort. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, Padics Footstraps could be the perfect addition to your kiteboarding setup, enhancing both your performance and enjoyment on the water.

If you’ve ever found the standard footstraps on offer by the big brands either too small or too big, you’re not alone — we’ve been there too. Those one-size-fits-most setups (you know the ones: “S/M” or “M/L”) often leave riders with a sloppy fit or cramped toes.

Padics changes that. With their SIZED LINE range, you can choose a footbed that’s made to match your actual foot size — from EU 35.0 to 48.0. That means more control, better comfort, and no more compromises.

And for those with unique foot shapes or in-between sizes, Padics also offers a CUSTOM LINE option, made just for your footprint. Game changer.

You can even find your perfect size with their printable template — download the Size Finder here.

Cat’s been riding with Padics Footstraps for the last two years and absolutely swears by them. They’ve made a real difference in her riding — more support, more connection to the board, and no more aching toes trying to upwind for long periods of time. It’s the kind of gear upgrade that genuinely changes how you ride (and how long you can ride for!).

In a detailed review by We Test Kites, Padics’ Sized Line footstraps were named the best overall after testing out 20 different pads and straps. What stood out to the reviewers were a couple of great features.

• First, they offer nine different pad sizes, which means you can find the perfect fit based on the length of your foot from heel to toe. This makes a big difference in comfort while you’re riding.
• Second, the pads have a really unique ergonomic shape, with high edges around the toes and the outer heel. This design gives you better stability and control, making you feel super connected to your board. In the end, the reviewers agreed that Padics footstraps are a fantastic choice for riders who want a secure, snug fit—perfect for those intense rides where you need to feel “locked in.”

We’re stoked to now offer Padics Footstraps at Zephyr Kiteboarding. These are seriously comfy, ultra-customisable bindings that suit riders of any foot size.

Priced at $399 with FREE shipping until the end of June — they’re worth every cent if you want your gear to actually fit your feet.
