If you fit snug in Lavers (like your big toe is pressing towards the shoe's toe area), get half size smaller for G-units.

Phat shoes from Eskimo Joe and Matt Cross. I might lace my Goonitz like Matt there.

I'd love to show everyone my lavers but they're in such dilapidated shape I almost have to tape them too my feet ( that.. and no batteries ) :D.
I'm waiting for the 2nd version of the Quantums to come out before I buy another shoe though....

my lavers.... it may just be me but i think they have really high tops. i read somewhere that high tops prevent anckle flexability... does it look like they have high tops to you because i have a hard time doing inside stalls :( [/url]

Those aren't high tops at all. If you're having troubles with ankle flexing do a Broka(sp?) cut. Just look on the older pages of this thread and you will know what I'm talking about.

you shouldn't need a brocka to do an inside stall.

Brocka mods dont actually do anything for me. If you are JUST learning inside stalls dont waste your time or shoes for this mod.


The reason you cant get an inside stall is because your technique is wrong. Try it a different way. Dont mod your shoes to hit a trick

Brockas are used for purposes of making shred a bit more comfortable, but insides are really easy. Definitely train on your technique for it and put plenty of focus into your clippers as well. It'll be worth it.

if you ask me, i think those socks could be part of the problem. :lol: Those things are fat! -lol, Just kiddin :D You probably just need to practice your clippers more. But for anyone that thinks they have 'mid-tops' because their shoe is going over their ankle, then a brocka cut would probably help some. But if you don't feel like cutting up your shoe then simply get some thicker gel insoles. These will provide more coushoin and they will also place your ankle higher and above the shoe so it wont interfer w/ your clipper.

just read up on clippers in the tips section - and practice! :footbag:
