I saw another similar ratchet strap replacement project that mentioned using ninjaflex plastic. I just used PLA+ and it feels really good and flexible enough for this purpose.

Finding replacement straps for Bont shoes is not easy. There are two types and nobody ever seems to have any in stock so I would have to order a set, Murphy's Law dictates I'd get the wrong ones and have to order the other ones.

So I eyeballed off the dimensions with a vernier caliper from the bits remaining and the other still intact strap. It was tempting to print it without the raft/support, but that would have meant it didn't have the 3 "fins" on the underside which helps hold the "head" in place on the shoe - but I thought best to go with as accurate a copy as possible. This one feels sturdier than the standard strap.
