Awesome design! I dig the funky webbing choices too. I love the solution you have for adjusting the length of the stirrup strap (no slippage huh?).
How do you find that hook performs with Russ' aid trees? In some of the ones you've made you use a narrow (1") webbing on the foot cuff. You don't find that standing in those for a day kills the nerves in feet?
Anyway awesome awesome stuff!

Thanks of the time of year I've only put a couple pitches on this latest batch, but so far they work just fine.
As for 1" vs 2" I found that the 2" got very annoying, especially in any sort of free move. My shoes have a stiff instep, so I am really digging the 1". For folks who ordered a pair I had a $5 upgrade option to do them as 2" stirrups (it's more of a PITA to do 2").
So far they work as well as my Kung-fu style ones with Russ' trees, the extra width is not a detriment, and hurts less when you jab yourself or our partner. Also, Home Despot hooks I found were more sucky than what you found and stuck way up above the cuff, so they got torqued in strange ways on overhangs sometimes.

I saw a set of your aiders last weekend. Nice job. You have shamed me into resewing mine.
