Our verdict
Almost all wearers commended the Propet Connelly Strap for its remarkable comfort. It was also lauded for its sturdiness over time and rustic design. Many were also ecstatic with its quick-to-wear-and-remove style while its removable insole delighted them too. However, its long strap, short Velcro, and stiff platform did not sit well with some consumers. But for fans of strap-closure shoes, this offering from Propet came highly recommended.

Updates to the Propet Connelly Strap
- The Propet Connelly Straps upper the original Propet Connelly. The only difference between the two iterations is the closure. Instead of a lacing system, this version uses dual straps that deliver easy on-and-off action and fit customization.
Multisurface grip
A high-traction rubber makes up the outsole of the Propet Connelly Strap. This trainer suits the outdoors; the material is durable and has a tread pattern that grips most surfaces.
It also has flex grooves at the forefoot that provide better heel-to-toe transition.
Underfoot comfiness
The full-length EVA foam provides comfortable underfoot cushioning on the Propet Connelly Strap. It is lightweight and attenuates the impact of each step.
Breathable and hygienic footbed
Inside the trainer are two removable insoles that allow users to customize the depth. The top insole is the OrthoLite foam which has an open-cell construction that promotes breathability. It is covered with a Dri-Lex fabric that prevents odor formation because of its antimicrobial properties. The bottom insole is a layer of memory foam that heightens shock attenuation.
The Propet Connelly Strap's upper
The suede leather upper keeps the foot supported while wearing the Propet Connelly Strap. It holds its shape while the mesh panels aid in ventilating the interior.
Convenient fit adjustment action
The trainer is equipped with two hook-and-loop straps instead of a traditional lace-up closure. These structures make for an easy on-and-off action and fit customization.
Updates to the Propet Connelly Strap
The plushness of both tongue and collar prevents chafing and blisters and they also help hold the foot steady.
