I would just like to update you all after my first ice session with these. They were very quick to put on and when I went into a butterfly there wasn't as much stress on my ankles/knees/hips as I would have with laces. But, one of the hooks fell of of my lace about a half an hour in and i stepped on it and fell
. I just took my pad off and re-attached it, no biggie. Overall very convenient (with the exception of it falling off, next time i will attach it under the laces) and actually relieves stress on your legs and hips.
