But it did. That's how I know that:

People who claim you can't are wrong.
People who claim nobody does are wrong.
People who claim it doesn't help are wrong, too!

Many track sprinters use double straps because of the tendency to pull their feet up and out of the clips (during the back part of the stroke, if it needs to be pointed out).
