Hi-

Don't know about the foot pod but it sounds like the shoe attachment piece is separate but necessary.

I replaced my heart rate monitor strap after only a few months (inadvertently left it out and my dog found it to be a great chew toy). No problems linking the new strap to the watch. Cheaper than I thought it would be.

Good luck.

Hi everyone,

 I own the Nike Triax Elite HRM/SDM. Unfortunately, my footpod has been 

 stolen out of the staircase. They left the shoe, but took the pod and 

 the plastic peice holding it in place. Now I meed to replace it.

 I have found the site for replacements parts 

 (http://www.easycarts.net/ecarts/ShoppingCart/Niketechlab.html#SM0019) 

 and have a few questions. I see that they have both a footpod and a 

 shoe attachment listed. Do I need to purchase both?

 Also, as another general question, has anyone replaced their strap for 

 the heart rate monitor? Mine is a bit loose and I can't tighten it any 

 more so I was thinking of replace it.
