Those plaid ones are freakin sick!!

I couldn't find a pair of Plaid one's in my size, so I think I died a little back when I was searching a year ago. I'm still inspired to look for a pair for myself though!

Also, sweet lacing job on your shoes, Peng. They look pretty choice, and I might experiment that method myself someday.

Blah, dyeing the shoes is sooo girly (that's why Peng has the coolest shoes).

Actually I'm just envious, how do you dye your shoes?

I didn't dye my shoes at all. I always found that stock laver laces were too long for shoes and they also came undone frequently, so I liked to change them out for round plushy laces. Usually, I match them to the shoe. The plaid ones are unmodded since I just received them. They came like that. No dye job required. I think they will be my walking around shoes so all I plan on doing is opening up the toebox. The white/pink ones are being worn around to break them in and will soon be a sick pair of shred shoes, and the red ones are my current shred shoes. They have been sharpied all over and then sprayed with a film of acrylic to keep them from running.

Yeah, I meant it to be an open question to everyone [who has dyed their Lavers].

That is definitely wise. I believe Plaid and Twill Lavers should mainly be used for walking. Making shoes like that for shredding might tear up the outer layer and make your shoes... er... ugly.

How are the smash cups different from lavers?

Skippy! · Post by **Skippy!** » 17 Jan 2006 14:58

Looks to me like the toe area maybe is bigger? Like, maybe the walls when pulled out are further back? Maybe I'm terribly wrong.

smash cups< lavers

those babies won't be freestyling until I cut the wings off(they're kind huge, like g-unit wings, except the toe area is thinner, and walls are less flexible, so it's hard to get them out of the way.

The insides aren't flat. I'd need to mod out the inside, take the chicken off the outside, and wear down some of the sole, because it's too high on the inside and sticks out, creating an unwanted slope.

the mesh isn't made out of seems to be less durable than laver mesh. I'm almost worried I'm going to cut into it a little, and it come apart.

This is all guess work just from looking.

The tongue of the shoe looks to be thicker, as well. Like the foam they use to layer it is pretty dense.

i'm sorry guys buy i've been gone for a while and i see all these new shoes just curious:

are the climas still some choice shoes?
obviously the lavers are still good but what are these smash cups?
are there any new shoes that you guys use for footbag that are getting more and more attention?

thanks!
