@chile57 Yes that's helpful. The pads actually seal great when he goes down in his butterfly. It's when he's up getting ready for a shot, that's when the pad seems to over-rotate on him. I've narrowed it down to the elastic toe strap on the Warrior pads. I think I'm going to install a normal toe bridge and do some like the old CCM pads he had. More stable for him right now I think. The elastic strap seems to be pulling the pad and over rotating it every time he gets up off the ice
Thanks for the Simmons article though. That's super helpful!

Hi all,
First post here. I'm a new goalie dad and admittedly don't know a ton about this yet. My 7 year old son just got a set of used 26+1 G3 pads , and we're having a problem with the pads seemingly wanting to slide out of position, caused mostly by the toe strap I think. The face of the pads are turning towards the outside. I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening. Do I need to replace the elastic straps with proper toe ties or am I doing something wrong. I would send pictures but I haven't got any at the moment. Other than the pads sitting outwards they seem to be a really great set for him
Thanks for the help in advance

Thanks everyone for the responses. Very helpful! I came up with a solution that used a toe bridge and the toe hooks from his old pads, ditching the elastic strap at the front of the skate and keeping everything else. I think it should work really well!. I put a painters stir stick inside the channel where the old strap went through, and connected that with the toe bridge. It's plenty strong and still a bit flexible and should hold up well! A little bit DIY but it's a cheap solution that should work
