No it doesn't.

If anything, it will hinder your ability to learn sets like pixie. I'm not sure where you're at in your game right now though, so it might not matter that much. I would still have kept them. I regret taking mine off when I started.[/i]

i could pixie amazingly well without toe walls, ducking them was easy. i bought a new pair of shoes, and before i cut the walls, i tried a pixie. i couldnt even do it. or atomic. i ended up cutting them anywyas, but now i know that it meant i wasnt setting straight up for my atomics, and my pixies were slurry. thats why my q2's will have walls, for sure. so seriously, at least leave most if not all of your walls on your next shoes. that pair isnt ruined... i dont know if your even doing uptime sets yet. but next pair... defintely leave them.

I like them better, but it's all preference.

Jordan, did you trim the part of the insole that messes up your clipper stalls? It sorta creates a little bump that it totally unacceptable, so please don't forget about that, mate! :wink:
