Those were modded by Brad Nelson so I didn't take control of shoe gooing but to me that is the best clipper I have ever had! Even better then my Gunits

Did you cut the stitches off the side walls?

Ah no, I didn't, but question, does it make that much of a difference, and what does it do?
Ah yeah ben, its hard shredding in leather eh? It was for me anyway, the surface is hard and bouncey.

Kyle Hewitt · Post by **Kyle Hewitt** » 01 Jul 2006 08:50

It makes a huge difference! If you do it you'll have a bigger toe box!

Oh that, I did that. You cant see where i pulled the threads in the pic eh?

Kyle Hewitt · Post by **Kyle Hewitt** » 01 Jul 2006 09:52

Anthony, consider trying a different lacing. The one on footbag.org (I think there's one there?) is decent. Your lacing pattern isn't really pulling out your toe walls to their fullest potential, and honestly you won't notice quite how awesome lavers are till you get those walls up...a brocka would do some good too. I mean, I can't tell you how to mod your shoes obviously, but try lacing them differently..if you've cut the tonguestay stitches, then your toe walls should be nice and fat.

I tryed that one to the teeth, and got mixed up... I read it and reread it and reread it but what i did never came out right.

if ur looking for a big toe box, use the hoodhouse lacing. if you´re looking for a smaller toe box. try the lacing from worldfootbag.com . i used to play with the first but now i think the second is better because the set from the toe is cleaner with a smaller box. with big box, i noticed the problem that the bag moved to one side after doing a toe stall and before doing the next. is there anyone having the same experience?

and please dont cut through too much of the stiching on the side walls. there shud be still enough so the toe area gets hold by these stiches and your not able to pull the tongue fully out.

I know, I did just what I was told to by friends and modified.in. The laces, everyone keeps telling me to change.. but i dont really drop my toe stalls with the current one so often so it must be working well.

The way I look at it, is why not have as much toe area as possible? Why limit the potential of your shoes just cause you don't wanna take a couple extra minutes to figure the right lacing out? Footbag is a lot about patience, as you've probably figured out, and not just patience in getting better, but patience in figuring out strategies to get better. You don't HAVE to do it the other way, but why just brush it off and not try it? You may find it better than what you have now...or maybe not. It might not be the right lacing for you. But the point is that you should experiment a lot. Since I started footbag my shoes have been laced countless different ways in an effort to find what felt best for me and I found that the best ended up being the first lacing that I had my shoes in. But hey, experimenting and making your own style is what it's all about.

Shit, I always rant in these things.

i made up my own lacing, its different and similar at the same time ... ?

looks different but has the same effect on the shoe?
