Can anyone give me any tips on how to keep my strap tight? I'd like to have it stay where the crease is. :lingsrock:

Thanks

I've never had problems with the strap moving in the clasp and not sure what would cause it to unless it was very tight. Only thing that I can think of is that the metal of the clasp is bent???

I found when wearing my croc straps, the same thing happens. Not too much, but enough to notice. I don't think that there is much you can do about it, unless it moves a considerable amount more than just a hair, I would chalk it up as being normal.

It doesn't look like anything is bent. It's enough to drive me crazy though!

One thing you can try is to VERY gently press inwards the 'tangs' on the reverse. This can assist to better hold the strap in place.

WARNING though, I do mean gently press down on these. You only need to move them half a millimetre or so.

Good luck.

:yeahthat I think I've recommended the same thing here previously on other threads. "Gently" indeed the operative word!

I tried the deployment squeeze, however I pushed it in with the strap in place, to minimize the accidental pushing too far. Seemed to work well, and my strap is holding in place nicely now.
