ever modded the toe box of Laver Casual with suede toe cap?

Post by hrdcorethndr1 »

i have recently bought a pair of Laver casual's that have a suede toe cap, and i want to mod the toe box into something i can use efficiently for baggin. But i dont want to ruin my shoes right out of the box. So i was wondering if anyone has attempted to mod the same type of shoe in the toe box area and could help me out. i feel and see a light meshy material inside the toe area and i want to expose this area but i dont know if it is possible to effectively remove the suede cap without taking every bit of material out of the toe area. If anyone has done this previously to the same type of shoe can you please tell me how? and if anyone has any pictures that would be very helpful.

Thanks :D

the only toe box modification that i did was i cut the stitches that connect the inside and outside surfaces of the shoe to the toe box if you peel back either or both sides of the shoe by the toe box you will see those stitches cutting them (USE SCISSORS) will create a larger toe box for the footbag

there are many other modifications that can be done
-removal of 1 or 2 eyelits
-complete resurfacing
-no cutting of the eyelits but the rectangular piece before the first eyelit
-removal of meche surface

lacing is also important that helps create a larger toe box
check out the matt cross video
somebody provide a link :!:

You'll ruin your shoes, so no. Don't try cutting off the suede cap.
