Correct me if I m wrong, but these double-wide, more comfort, with 2 straps, called Euc pads, were invented by Don Blair in the eighty s. I still have a pair from Sherrill I keep for occasional use with foot plates on them for all day jobs.

I now have the same pad with velcro, as everything I do all day is based on ease of use from parking my trucks/trailers without having to move anything to get out, to my saddle which is a no frills , easy on/off cheapo that often the leg straps don t even get cinched as it goes on and off during the day. My more elaborate high dollar, comfort, wide back, suspendered all dayer, called a Eucman (also Blair, also eighties) usually sits on the shelf in a ropebag for protection.

I d probably be tempted to even use a velcro foot strap if they invented a dependable one my spikes are on and off so much during a day. Hate walking around with them on.
