Welcome to my first Fox’s Fursuiter’s Tip. I am an experienced fursuiter who has been to many fur cons around the US as well as fursuiting at local events and just suiting around my home town of Wichita Kansas. I have developed new ways or improved on existing ideas to make fursuiting more enjoyable and hassle free.

This month’s tip is about foot paw security. I have been known to ride my mountain bike and to do Tae Kwan Do in suit, and losing a foot paw can “ruin the magic”. For example, at the 2009 Mephit Fur Meet, I lost my foot paw while kicking a ball in the hotel. It was not that big of a deal, but it was not something that I would want to happen again. Even though my foot paws are well made and fit perfectly, I needed something to keep them on while performing such acts and to not worry about the momentum of my foot paws to pull them off my feet.

At a Hancock Fabrics store I found these short elastic bands with clips on them that worked perfectly. Like most foot paws mine have slippers built into them, and these bands clip on both sides of the slipper and go over the top of my foot. Since they are elastic, I just clipped them on once and I am able to slide my foot in and out of them with ease. Use the link below for a picture of the bands.

I never had a problem since I started using them and if you have this problem I hope this tip helps.
