Why didn't you just order a new toe bridge? Have you ever used toe buckles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAngle41 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Well... it will be a different feel to say the least... but just google search Jonas Hiller Toe Buckle... he's about the last one to still use them. I have a couple pics below but you may want to see more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopaloop1234 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I really don't think you're going to find toe buckles "easier" than toe ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Do yourself a favor and get Pro Laces or a similar product. Easy to install, even easier to attach to the pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pucker Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 1 hour ago, BadAngle41 said: ( @BadAngle41 - just quoting you to get this pic in; not addressing you as the dude contemplating leather toe straps) Agree with others here - I don't think this is the way you want to go, @Max27. The primary reason they are still available at all, I suspect, is to repair older models that were originally manufactured with them in place. While technically possible, I doubt the intention is to fit them to modern pads. Moreover, someone who windmills while sitting on their own goalie stick probably shouldn't be emulated... ever.

You're right, a 45 save performance against Team Canada in 2010 should never be emulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Canadian, that's absolutely correct; no goalie should ever have 45 saves against Team Canada. It's rude. More fun to take the picture out of context in this case, so yeah - I did that.

Wonder35 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I removed my toe ties and switched to buckles due to an over rotation problem. It worked for me, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To @Lucky Pucker's point, you won't have the same management of slack you had on your toe bridge, and it will be less forgiving on your ankles, knees, and hips... not to mention how it may effect how the boot sits on your skate and everything down stream from that... knee landing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you even break a toe bridge? lol i wanted something more consistent, and i find leather straps for everything are super consistent and its a long and weird story my hd toe bar peice fell out ( left it exposed subbing in a ball hockey game and the hd foam fell out and i didnt know and the ref picked it up and threw it out) and it was the exposed leather, it got suck when i was walking on the bench (we split thr games half and half w my goalie partner) got caught on something and the peice ripped in half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
