I have the trav spec. I have a 9.5 skate. I had the double knot at the toe bridge to tighten m up. They come long, but easy to adjust tho. But ,but on install the bungie came loose from the velcro/ leather. So it was just the skate lace ,armor and no elasticity. Looked at the stitching and there was only one pass of thread. So i got the miz to go over the bungie and repair the quality control. Was gonna send m back,but was gonna take to long. After the repair they where ok.
