I have a problem I really need some help with. I've been playing goal for about 4 months and have all new equipment. My skates are the Tour Redline 5000s and already have holes in the toes of the cowlings. I suppose it's from the way I get up. I don't use the toe straps/ties on the pads so there's nothing between the floor and the cowling. They've become paper thin and the toe of the boot is exposed. It's been getting worse and feel my options are limited. Buy new ice cowlings at about 60-70 bucks each, have them cut and fitted on the roller boot. (Will someone please tell my why there's ice cowlings but no roller cowlings for goalie roller skates?) Or I can buy a pair of used skates, ice or roller and have those cowlings put on my skates. I'm looking for some tips on this one as many goalies I discuss this with have never seen skate cowlings wear down so fast.
