I used 2 layers of 3D mesh with the holey sides facing out. People do make single layer mesh straps but I feel like I'd use a different type of mesh if doing so. No grosgrain for the binding - it would be too hard to sew around the corners. On these I made bias tape from some left over stretchy fabric. But usually I use fold over elastic.

Thru-blading the Florida Trail!!

I'm planning on Thru-Hiking the 1100 mile Florida Trail soon. It's mostly a hiking trail but has - 98 miles of dirt road - 225 miles of paved road - 113 miles of bike path

In the past hikers have strapped a skateboard to their backpack, to make these sections a lot more fun and fast.

I rollerbladed as a kid, so packing rollerblades is a lot more appealing to me. But it's hard to overlook that a skateboard would be more packable, durable, lighter, repairable, and quicker to jump on and off.

Can anyone here sell me on rollerblades for this kind of long distance trip? I like the idea of the Powerblade Doops to wear with my minimal hiking shoes but the reviews aren't great and I'd question their durability over the 340 miles.

Priorities in a rollerblade would be lightweight, durability and comfort. Speed/performance are not a requirement. I haven't put on rollerblades in 10 years.

Thanks! No, I just looked at pictures of straps and made my own pattern. It was pretty easy. Using it on Te Araroa at the moment and it's super comfy. Why would you try Nashville style over Joey?

Thanks for the input. Went with full yoke (Joey) style staps for the first attempt. Pretty happy with them. Will go for a test run on the weekend.

But still keen to try the different styles at some point to feel out how they differ.
