Building a heel box

janis · Post by **janis** » 05 May 2006 06:02

Yeah, laver heel surface sucks

so what would you suggest using to build a heel box?

heres a pic of Lynton's shoes. He's put stuff on his shoes to build the surfaces up, but what is it?

i think silicone would be best. or liquid nails. either way, a caulking gel. that way you can shape it, and its a cementish glue. so no coming off (unless you sand it). be careful, if you scrape silicone across skin, it might hurt.

Or am I the only that noticed he's wearing two different pair of shoes???

It's just modded differently for comfort. It's commonly done by some freestylers for easier control, whether it's for your flipside or strong, bigfoot etc. They're the same pair of Lavers.

Ok, so they are 2 different shoes....

But I was hoping people could give some advice on materials used in making better surfaces.

They're not just modded different, they are two different shoes. They're not Janis' though, so he won't know.

Can someone help me find out what a good material to make better surfaces is

For the instep or toe of your shoe?

You could use slicon, or whatever you use to mod climas with to box it. I don't think it would look to pretty though.

shoe goo, silicone caulking. i bought shoe goo at cvs, so clearly it should be too hard to find.

By the looks of them, one of them is the millenium laver, and the other is a regular laver.

Talk about hijacked thread

I posted that picture to try and find out what Lynton had put on the sides of the shoes, not so eveyone could talk about how he's wearing two different shoes.
(thx everyone who gave advice it's really appreciated)

ahhh chill janis... you still got your answer

I'd be interested to see how the heel box goes. I used to do heels a bit when I was palying in skate shoes (:lol:) and it bums me how small the heel box on lavers is.
