Problem with Lavers?

Post by Kyle Hewitt »

After I did the Toe mod and the lacing mod they we're working GREAT but when I saw that one of the lacing holes we're starting to poke out and looks like it could start a hole in a bag anyone else have a problem like this?

shoe goo. it makes climas semi shreddable, so it can fix lavers.

better idea , put your lavers in the sink and pour boiling water on them so it gets on the insides and soaks , it looses the glue and makes pulling the insoles out a breeze

I wish I was that lucky..tearing out my insoles was a pain.

That boiling strick sounds like a sure fire method, though. I'll have to try it on my next pair. Thanks Joe

Yeah, I had a similar thing happen but I just bent it, before I even realized it could be a potential problem.

The boiling water idea might also loosen the glue holding the shoe's sole together. :oops:

Just a thought.

Why would you take out the soles? I've had mine in since forever, why take em out, that would make your footsies uncomfortable while shredding.

Of topic but, I made a really good lace up that works extremley, extremley well for 8 lace holed lavers. It's so awesome, makes clippers easier, makes dragons easier, and it makes it easy to pull an emergency rake out of your ass from damn near any position. I can damn near turn my right foot all the way around, and catch the bag raking it back to me, it's really disgusting looking, and would'nt be possible with my lace up, and it's cool. What's the most common number of holes in a person's lavers?
I kinda like I got kinda average sized feet, so I thought 8 would be average, but IDK.

Not only do you take them out, but you replace the soles. Replacing the stock insoles with more supportive ones will make your footsies more comfortable while shredding :)
