side wall question

Post by CheeseMan »

i just cut off the side walls of my lavers (two eyelets). i've noticed some people cut off two eyelets, some three. will it help me to cut off the third eyelet, or should will it be ok to just stick with what i already have?

play them like you have them. if somewhere down the line when you're doing pixie sets or other toe sets where you need to get the bag off your foot quickly without snagging, it might be helpful, but for now, you could have left them all on and been fine.

Yeah, you don't need three cut off. If you're currently snagging the third eyelet, then you're just doing something wrong with your footwork. :)

leaving the sidewallks would have been better , pixies are much for beautiful with sidewalls , im going to buy another pair of lavers and leave the sidewalls , I cut of 3 on my second pair but my pixies look sucky so I want to go back

If your snagging any eyelet, your doing something wrong with your footwork.

i'll stick with just two. also, i heard taking off the side walls helps make precise toe stalls though. is this true?
