Netnewbie Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I used my moded toe straps finally. They worked great kept the pad in place and pulled back to original spot when I got up. Felt good to have less resistance and helped slightly with mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other benefits are ease of rotation and less stress on your ankles.

JediGoalie30 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I got tired of the toe laces that came with my new pads, they were WAAAYYYYY too long. I saw the Smart Straps and Toe Bridge products at my local shop, and did not feel like spending $25 or $40(!) respectively to address the issue. Took them out and replaced with a simple shock cord setup that cost about $1.50 in material and 30 minutes to put together. One 3’ length for each pad, tied a loop in the middle for a pull loop, another knot at about 2/3 the length of the skate, then another about 1.5” in front as a lead between the skate and the pad, then laced it into the toe bridge. Simple to pull on over the blade holder. Will be using that setup for the second time this morning, no issues so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat set up but it doesn't seem like something that, during a mad scramble, has the resiliency to stay on. Do you attach the back loop to anything?

JediGoalie30 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Have only played once with it, it seems to hold pretty snugly. If it becomes an issue, I’ll get a couple of biners to hold it to the back loop on my skate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a lightweight option for attaching to the back loop, try a OneWrap cable tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you attach the back loop to anything? Second skate with the shock cords today, had a few good scrambles with no problems. The loops fit pretty snugly around the top of the blade holder, and I left enough of a lead between the front of the boot loop and the pad so they shouldn’t get pulled from the front too much. The only way I could really see them coming loose is if something caught and pulled on the loop in the back, and I don’t really think that’s all that likely to happen. So far, I like it, they don’t hinder my skate movement and they are super fast to get on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're using elastic cord you don't need slack. 12 minutes ago, southpawtendy48 said: So... no one uses toe hooks? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d recommend it. Keeps my ankle in place so my blade is angled more on the straight side so it’s easier for me to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I completely understand why you guys use that kind of stuff. Toehooks are working for me so I’m happy.. might consider the pro laces though.

But I would say give it a shot and see what you think about. If you don't like it then you shouldn't have a hard time telling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that answer a lot more than someone just saying nah, there’s A LOT better options than yours. Like I said though, I’ll consider trying stuff out but I feel that’s one of the only pieces of my gear that doesn’t need to be updated right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
