I have been playing around with the lacing everyday to get the walls to stay up. They keep flatening out and getting in the way.

Does anyone have this problem as well? Would someone please post a pic of how they have their laces so that the walls stay up?

Why does Freedom not have size 12 quantums. Planetfootbag goes but I dont wanna spend that much money on shipping/wait that long to get them.

I think it would be seriously cool to reintroduce the Black version of the Quantums back into the next design phase. It doesn't even have to be completely black: it could have a black outline with a similar shade for the inside, outside and toe surfaces, like the white/grey model for Q2s.

I think a grippier sole is a necessity to make the Q3s a better footbag shoe. The material used for making the sole is very nice and I've been enjoying them for the past few months. The transition of shock absorption went better than I expected from G-units to Quantums. I know redesigning the sole will be an expensive venture, but I've been slipping on smooth concrete whenever I play in the outdoors.

I think stiffer toe walls, or toe wall caps, is an excellent idea. The walls keep giving in much more than G-units (even Lavers) when laced up. I've grown to enjoy the Quantum toebox these days and would like to see this part of the shoe improved in this manner.

Also, sweet shoes Jan. :P

Wow, it seems like you've been putting extra hours into you toe game! :D

I'm pretty sure if one fixes quantums as soon as they start show the signs of deterioration, that ^^^ will not happen...well, at least it won't be that bad.

EDIT: What the hell happened to the heel part of the shoe?

Your heel part would be the same if you will not lace off your shoes before take them on :) but it's so bad only with qm's cuz there is a plastic layer between fabric ones :?
