just get a razor blade and carefully cut the stitches away from the mesh on the toe. Pull on the eyelet really hard while your doing it so it enables you to cut the stitches easier.

yeah, toe mods are easy.

You should also try a broka on them. makes clippers much easier.

i can just repeat myself for 1000 times, if your feet are build right, you dont need a broka, step into the shoes and make the clipper strech were you lay the out side of the foot on the ground. if the "broka area" isnt touching your ankle then, dont broka, and if it does, dont cut off the half shoe for a broka mod. i onlky need ed one broka yetz, and that was for clima´s, and there i just cutted off 1 cm.... so... think about it

Personally, I like the looks of the Brocka mod and how it results in me having to tightly lace my shoes. I have pretty good ankle crank for both feet, but having a gap where the ankle support feels comfortable. Plus, i think it makes you look very dedicated to footbag, although intimidating in a way.

just as a warning, if you're someone who likes to mod your shoes by cutting the outer mesh dont get these. The second layers is this fuzy felt stuff that would be terrible as an outer surface. I dont like doing that anyway cause i like my kicks lookin hot so i can wear them 24/7 :)

well if its mesh, removing the outer layer isnt really necessary.

yea but it isnt the mesh that is on the normal lavers. This type is very soft and smooth to the touch which might make people not like them because its harder to stall.

I can't agree with that! My old blue lavers have the outer mesh cut out and I love it! Just takes more time to break in!

Cutting the OUTSIDE mesh on lavers? Wouldn't you cut the inside layer off??

Some people do, and some people (i.e-kyle) love to. I dont think id do it if it isnt necessary, but if it really helped I would.

Its all your own opinion.

Cutting the inside layer off leaves a very thin outer mesh and it feels great when you delay the bag :) I loooove it.
