I wear minimalist shoes (no heel, among other things). I had my gators made so the strap goes under my heel inside my shoes. No wear. I run and bike in them (they have a splat-like tongue on them). Anyway, if you attach this strap or a new strap (with elastic as part of it ideally) an inch or so up from the bottom lip of the spat on either side, then the splat hangs over the side of your shoe and the strap is inside your shoe. Trickier on and off though.
