beansbats Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have been playing around with sewing my own bungee toes since a playoff game where a knot pulled out of my original Monsters. These are probably closer to the 5th or 6th generation, and I really like how the updates are working. Are they any better than anyone else's? Probably not, bungee is bungee after all. Updates: 1. Webbing is sewn into the bungee, so no knots to pull through. 2. D-ring tied in with a water knot so it will not pull out. 3. Single pull back piece of webbing with both the male and female velcro. Review - 20 games in and they still work like new. Any questions or comments are welcome! -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAngle41 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 @beansbats what size shock cord did you use? Diameter and # of elastic strands bundled inside? on yellow waxed laces... they'll always be my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea on the number of strands or pound rating. I might have to try to find that information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Goalie Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 @beansbats are you able to post a pic showing the stitching where the shock cord is attached to the webbing? I’d like to see your technique if you don’t mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see your technique if you don’t mind. It is tough to see here because of the black thread with black webbing and velcro. But it is stitched in with a "Z" pattern. I have a 1940's industrial machine that does the job well. I hope this helps. -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m using a semi-industrial grade 1950s Singer myself. It’s rock solid and excellent for this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Cooper Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I justed added the bungee toe ties to my pads earlier this month. Figure these are a little easier to thread through my skates versus the elastic ties. Here is my video on installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Those look really nice. I run a slightly different variation where the part that attaches to my skate stays there and I attach the pad via a Velcro tab. Love your D ring attachment, nice and sturdy!

MrGoalie Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Nice work. My only concern would be if the cord broke or frayed you would have to replace the whole piece of it stitched in. Have you tried using a washer to keep the knot from slipping thru and then melting the knot with a lighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like these ideas, but I decided to go with the sewn in as a permanent attachment and just keep a second set of ties in my bag in case they do fail. -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran in to the same issue with Monsters, so I upgraded, combined and Frankensteined a better version lol. I'm going to post my version in a new thread here shortly, just got a new set of pads so making the toe bridge for those now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
