Toe Box Sides
Do you guys cut the eyelet (or eyelets for some, depending on how you lace the shoes) at the toe box off or leave it on? I know some people thinks it helps their sets to cut it off, but what do most of you guys think?
I cut it off my old pair of lavers today and I didn't find it improved my sets at all, plus it made it harder for me to catch the bag on some tricks, like double legover. Opinions?

I cut mine off, not because it hindered my sets though. It was because I didn't want to become reliant on the walls of the toe box, and it feels ALOT lighter to me for some reason without those eyelets at the end.
this is the 44 Wand, the most powerful Handwand in the world, so did i fire 5 or 6 fireballs? now you got to ask yourself one question pal, do i feel lucky? well do ya punk.
i cut mine off on my last pair, i think it does help with some sets, i guess it makes them alittle easier, but on my last pair i didnt, i just had to "re-learn" my pixie set but not a whole lot. i like it better with the sides on, i think it looks cooler (if thats a word) or something...lol.

I didn't cut mine back. I didn't really even consider cutting them back, because it never occurred to me even though I read about it. It only helps your sets (the dexy ones anyway) if you tend to dex while the footbag is still within catching distance of the sides (2-3cm). But thats not a problem with you so I guess it's more of a question of slight increasw with speed or using the toe box for moves like dlos.

Millenium 2s: cut 2 eyelets off
Chinas: none cut off.
the my millenium toe sides were jus too cumbersome when pulled back.
i think the toe sides of Chinas loo reeealaal cooooool when pullled back.
that and the freestyle lacing make lavers look fresh & unique vs. other shoes.

I was skeptical at first but I must admit cutting the canvas out of the toe does help. The bag sits better in the toe box, and it's more comfortable. It's a lot of work, but i think it's worth it. I was thinking about cutting my eyelets off too, but i never got around to it. Now after reading this thread I'm kinda glad I didn't.
