Well, first time out with the new gear tonight. Felt fine without bootstrap, didn’t miss it one bit. Think I had my leg channel straps a bit too snug as it felt a little too tight ( will have them a bit more loose next time ) the bungie toe strap did it’s job and kept the pads re-Centered every time . all in all a good first time out with new eflex 4.5 gear. thanks everyone for all your help and input .

So how secure do you guys use your toe strap/bungie strap? I have Reebok skates and middle opening is one big space which would mean my pro laces would be to far forward and not enough tension, but they are pretty snug when putting them at the last space under the heel. Again this is doing a dry fit at home as my first game with them is tomorrow night. so will have pro laces pretty snug and no boot strap ( as per most the advice ) to start off and see how it goes

Thanks for all the reassuring advice, will give it a go without them this week .

Hey gang , new here but thought I could get some advice . I am just a Rec/beer league goalie , but really enjoy playing . just bought a set of CCM Eflex 4.5 and will be using them for the first time this coming Tuesday . they came with the bunjie toe tie( pro laces style ) which I think I am going to love . I normally wear my boot strap preciously pretty loose , these come with the option to remove it . ahould I go with no strap or should I leave it on loosely ? I am worried if so do remove them the pads wiill rotate off center , but have read the toe bungie should prevent that , any advice would be appreciated.
