Akona 3mm, can I sew a foot strap?

[Kaliber35]

Id like to sew a foot loop into my 3mm. Is this possible? What do you suggest?

I suppose it is possible, but not reccomended by the factory. Is there another way to accomlish what you are trying to do? On a 3mm wetsuit the legs of the wetsuit should not be slipping or riding up your legs. If you think it is necessary, I would suggest going to a seamstress. But please recognize and tears that would occur as a result of these stirups would not be covered under the factory warranty.

I assumed that the addition would not be covered. Yes, the suit is riding up my leg. The suit is a very tight fit. Its a good fit, but I have very skinny ankles and legs. The stirrups would help.

I guess I was wondering if there were any special threads or materials you would suggest. Ill contact my local seamstress to do the work. I just thought Id ask in case there was something special Id need.
