I ordered the straps, so we'll see how they do.
You are not promoting good health or protecting the environment by purchasing toe straps made from synthetic materials such as Nylon. Manufacture of chemicals such as Nylon pollutes and poisons the environment and eventually introduces carcinogens into our bodies, which is bad for our health. So purely from that perspective, the use of natural materials such as cowhide is the best way to protect the environment and by extension our health. I agree that not killing animals should not be characterized as "silly", but it is a moral/ethical/religious belief of yours, and has no bearing on health.
