you know... i've seen these before. I watched a video on youtube before and they don't look like they're super awesome to me. They actually look just like what they are, plastic strips with a strap on it :P. Nothing special on the bottom to make them slide super great :D

are you comparing to popbottle shoes, or just trying to shoot people down.

:o Not trying to shoot anyone down! I was just shooting down the product :embarrased: . I just don't want anyone to buy something and be disappointed that's all. Sorry

how do you think we could change the product so it works better for us kiters? i agree that the shoes look a bit well "plastic" however we need to think throu all of our options.

True. :) What if we took the idea to the next level with steel bottoms, and straps to go over our shoes? :spin:


Even better, add a bit of a curve up in the front so you don't catch an edge :singing:

thats the idea i had, now were getting the picture. mabey a fully adjustable one with gi talon ratchet bindings.
ooo i like the sheet metal idea for the bottom.
