I'm so happy with these straps. I wore one of these for the first time today. so easy to close you can make it as tight as you like. I bought a leather belt (with holes) a few years ago and it got so annoying to keep punching holes in the leather when I was losing weight and the holes I made myself never worked so well: With this belt you don't need holes and it fits perfectly! UPDATE: I was so happy with these straps, however on the one I wore about 4 times, the metal tip at the end of the webbing started to come loose! I don't know if I can use it when that happens because you have to slide it through the clasp. I hope this purchase wasn't a mistake!
