Just crank that ankle so that you can get it on the inside, no problem. If you think its the shoe that's getting to you in cranking that ankle, then a healthy Brocka mod may be in order.

However, Jay has a point. Practice.

If your lavers are new, chances are they are very ridged. I have just got new lavers and I can't even do more than 10 alternating clippers! (I could easily do 60 before), but I can still do 60 with my other mesh lavers which are nice and worked in. The canvas on the inside will losen up over the next month or so and the bag won't slide round, don't worry.
