possible cheap foot strap

yo
whats your opinion on these?
there meant to be handcuffs but look like they could easily be turned into foot straps with a little editing, and for only £9.50 posted they are cheaper than any other straps ive seen out there
opinions and comments would be appreciated

If its only for ankles and wrists might be a bit tight squeezing your foot in there. Fine if you've got small feet I imagine.

Or go to a scrapyard and buy an old seatbelt. Plus some velcro and a needle and thread. Burn any loose ends to prevent fraying. Done.

as above, make your own!
black nylon flat webbing can be had from most walking/climbing shops for pennies per/metre, you can get cheap plastic buckles & parts again for a few pence.

For leather ones hunt in charity shops 10pence bins, fit 'em and stitch them to the right length or use the original buckle and just skewer holes through the leather. I mean for £9.50+postage you might aswell hang on classifieds and get some MKS ones, I think those are only about £12 new for the plastic ones, and often go for £5 in usable condition on here.
