Nevermind, I guess the photos can't be updated. What the hell?

Also, I popped the toe cap off. I've updated the photo. Looks so much better :)

I don't think that pressure point is from the cuff bolts. I removed the black plastic strap guards on the boot itself, as well as the brass lace hooks. They were digging into my ankles so bad!

Now that those are gone, I lace the skates up really tight, but only push the buckle through about 3-4 clicks, and tighten the instep strap pretty loose.

Also, I heat molded my boots in the oven for 20 minutes @ 200 degrees F, then put laces in them, the insole and a gel heel pad, laced them up as tight as I could stand them for 30 minutes, before I removed the strap protectors and lace hooks.

They are size 11 US, and no, I won't part with them. Sorry :)

I saw your K2 collection, pretty impressive, I've owned all of those except for the Naturals.

I have the original Fatty Pros from them 90s, a red pair of the 250ccs, a yellow pair of the 250ccs, King 55s, Transfers and Varsity's.

Those skates actually look pretty good with Carbon plates. Nice job :)
