For real!

All they're doing is making your pads weigh more!

Thats weird. What day/time did you buy them?

njt42 · #35 (**permalink**) 05-20-2008, 11:43 AM

I bought them on noon Friday. I thought they were going to be here today.

Today is my only ice time for 2 WEEKS!!!!!!

Alright I got my Flextoe in today... and it's so damn hard to put on my skates!!! It also feels like I'm about to twist my ankle every time I go down! But at least my pads don't drag on the ice anymore.

They feel ok! I think I have to try them out on the Ice first, instead of making assumptions of how they feel in my room...

It gets ALOT easier with time. When I lace them up I tug real hard on the lace I plan to attach it to so it's a little easier to squeeze the lace through the little hole. And make sure you attach them one hook at a time.

My Flextoe came today! I am waiting to get my new leg pads in the mail tomorrow, so I will let you guys know what I think tomorrow night after I skate.

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.

That happened to me too with my flextoe, when I tried them in my room just now! Waste of my money!! I'm using laces now, and my ankles don't feel like they're getting twisted anymore.
