Works great! The feet hold your canoe in well and the cam straps are perfect for canoes.

I generally don't write reviews for products. I am an avid Adirondack wilderness camper. Kudos to Malone. I just bought a used canoe. I have always carried kayaks with my Thule racks, but Thule has not come up with conversion hardware for my 2021 Toyota Venza. So I bought the Toyota racks for the Venza and then ordered the Malone Big Foot Pro. Installation was easy. Quality was great. I hauled my canoe from the Adirondacks to home (about 250 miles) this week. Canoe stayed in place. The gunwale brackets (and hardware), jawz brackets and load straps were all very good quality. Thank you Malone.

Box it came in was open and missing most parts for the kit. Very disappointed as we have been waiting on this kit and now have to go through returns and wait again.

Finally got around to trying out the product because of the weather. Product seems sturdy and perfect for transporting a canoe. We ran into a couple problems due to an extra wide canoe, which is not the fault of the product. But the product did come with a missing pad on one of the feet. I can’t quite figure out how to contact the company to resolve this issue.

Perfect for use on my Malone rack system, easy install, look nice on the Malone rack and are well made, don’t expect that I will ever break or wear these out. No issues with install or use. Malone makes some nice products and I would recommend Malone racks to any one considering a rack purchase for their vehicle. To be fair the other brands are not any less expensive and do more or less the same thing, I have a set of older Yakima gunnel brackets that lasted twenty years but they are not as versatile / universal for mounting as the Malone brackets.

Sturdy design, easy to fit

Sold slightly used equipment that had a broken lock. Offered substantial refund. Had to call again for refund. Still don't think it was sent. The unit has a lot of road noise. It does not fit perfect on a 2013 durango. Good if you want to transport canoe or occasionally use it. Not good to leave on. You have to be careful on disassembly some small pins can easily be lost if the end comes apart. I know. Use the smallest set of attachments for the Durango.

They do exactly what they are supposed to, hold the canoe steady and firmly.

This is an outstanding product. Used as designed, the width was about 1-inch too small for my canoe. But the "clamp" is adjustable enough to slip over the end bracket of the roof rack bar, and in my case it fit. I think that in most cases it can be made to fit. However, it is very hard to be sure before buying it and trying it out. Hopefully the vendor will accept returns if it does not. (Note. After hooking up everything, I realized that in place on my RVm none of the "ties" held the canoe against sliding forward in a sudden stop. This was because the canoe bow was NOT forward of the front of the car. I remedied this by tying the bow of the canoe to the roof rack. Also, I had terrible buzzing from the straps vibrating. I had 25oo miles to go and had to fix it. I replaced the straps provided with ratchet straps, and then I stabilized them by attaching wires at several places to damp the vibrations.) When all was well and done, the attachment was "perfect". I drove 2500 miles and it might as well not have been there as there was no sound, no wind pressure, no loss of mileage.

I was hesitant to purchase this Big Foot Canoe Carrier as I have a Honda Odyssey (2002) and I see how others have had issues on fitting this to their vehicle. I have OEM crossbars and a Coleman Canoe that had to mesh with this carrier. It did very well with a little work. This carrier is actually 4 attachments that you can adjust anywhere on your crossbars and have 2 different sized bolts to fit thin or thicker crossbars and cool holders that the nuts are encased in to help you tighten and loosen the nuts by hand very easily.I had to fit 2 of the carrier attachments on the rear crossbar in the 'normal' positions or aka, the thinner part of the crossbar. On the front crossbar, I had to attach the carrier attachments to the fatter part of the crossbar where the crossbar is joined to the side rail at the farthest point. It took some maneuvering once the canoe was on the crossbars to get everything aligned, but it worked like a charm. I used the longer bolts and it tightened fine with room to spare. It is a tighter fit to get your hand in to tighten the nuts this way, but other than removing and hoisting back up the canoe, it was slow but worked in the end. The canoe slid easily over the attachments for the short distance I needed to move it. I am 5'7" and my wife is 5'0" so it is a bit of a reach to get it perfect, though we were somewhat close.The hard part on this carrier is when you are as short as both of us are and you have to heave a canoe not only onto the top of the van but also the extra few inches to get over the carrier attachments. It is tip toe time.The carrier attachments are well made and should last for years. These replace my Yakima foam pads that worked well for a year but are now falling apart. I am frugal and do not wish to pay a few hundred dollars for a specialized rack/carrier for our canoe and as long as this carrier performs as I feel it well, it is money well spent. Yes, it costs more compared to the foam pads ($40) at twice the price but I feel they will last several years longer. The attachments are polycarbon which feel and look like high end hard molded plastic (similar to some of the DJ lighting attachments for my DJ lighting that have lasted for many years and still going strong) and the insides are like a hard rubber material that can take a little abuse but not scuff up your canoe. The holders that the nuts are enclosed in seem to also be made of the same polycarbon material. The part that the top attachment attaches to under the crossbars are rubbery covered heavy metal shaped pieces that fit both the thicker part of my crossbars as well as the thinner areas.I am a bit nervous on overtightening the racks as I do not want to strip the bolts and the fancy nut holders that the nuts are encased in. The nut holders cover the nuts and are built in. They work very well and easy for hand tightening the carrier to the crossbars.The straps work ok, but admit, i use my own to strap the bow and stern of canoe to my van and i also use a couple of tie downs from side to side in mid point areas of canoe. This sucker is not budging off the van until I am ready - LOL.I would recommend the Malone Big Foot Pro Universal Car Rack Carrier to anyone with a canoe and you don't want to spend a fortune on a rack/mounts. There is no way to know if it fits your vehicle / rack until you try it or read others reviews. I bought it hoping they would work and if they did not, Amazon has a good return policy. I was fortunate and this carrier fit my '02 Odyssey and OEM roof crossbars.

Bought this product at the same time i bought the cross bars. Everything fit on my 2011 subaru forester great. When i bought my 17ft old towne canoe, i realized the brackets cant go wide enough for the canoe i just bought. Got kind of bummed and worries but i just flipped the brackets so they sit on the inside of the canoe which works just as good. Ive been canoeing every week and once the canoe is on top the rack, i try and rock the canoe but it sits pretty solid on there. They come with straps as well and i only use the green ones around the canoe and around the rack. The ropes, i dont even use for the front and back and my canoe is solid with just those straps on the middle. Im very happy with this product!
