There isn't to big of a difference. The Canvas is alittle thicker then mesh so it will take more time to break in but if you break in the Canvas it will be more grippy then mesh. Just it and see what you like better.



If you aren't afraid of trying this mod on your new lavers, do it! You won't really get a good both sided opinon here because I doubt most people have done it anyways.

i've done both.
kyle is pretty much right as far as i can tell. i think cutting off the canvas makes more of a difference than cutting off the mesh and leaving the canvas. i dont cut the sides at all anymore...the toe makes the biggest difference, and i definitely recommend taking off the canvas. but like kyle said, not a huge difference.

im not sure if u got my question right. i will definetely leave the canvas, cuz ive heard its grippier. this mod is done with the leathers, and all i want to know is if it makes sense to do this with the mesh ones, too (taking off the mesh on a mesh shoe and leaving the canvas). or otherwised askes: does a mesh laver, where the mesh is taken away differ from a same modded leather? is there any weight difference, does the leather laver feel as cuddly as the mesh, is the leather one easier to mod? and if i chose not to mod the outside, the mesh laver will be better than the slippery leather laver, right?
hope u understand, or did i get ur answers wrong

Mesh is more slippery then leather. If your looking for a grippy surface with more break in time then the mesh cut off the mesh and if your looking for a less grippy surface and less break in time cut the canvas out.

I love the leather lavers. I bought 8 pairs of them. I got the blue leathers(1 pair),white/ blue leathers(2 pairs), all white leathers(1pair),brown leathers(2 pairs), and black leathers(2 pairs). And i got a pair of regular white/green mesh and a pair of black meshes, a pair of black/white tipstop nylon, and a pair of red/white rip stop nylons but, i agree that the leathers have the clipper of a g-unit and toes of a laver :D
