My last experience with Drake straps was a 2010 isonic. I wear booties and do usually widen straps by using wider set inserts. Nevertheless the drake straps gripped the booties too much and always had problems taking feet out for jibes.
Replaced the front straps with dakine slims and problem disappeared - until then, my jibes became ruined by fear that the front foot would be stuck at worst possible moment...
This didn't seem to be issue for friends with isonics who sailed barefoot.
