can the toe stop be changed? My local rink does not allow black toe stops.

yes it can, you just have to use a wrench to unscrew it! Also learning without the stopper is a good thing; just in case you learn to crossover your feet

I'm not sure. They're really designed for middle toes. The small width really only fit over one toe (not including the one you loop it to). The wider size fits over two toes. Some of the problem will be with how much your foot angles. You probably don't want to pull on your broken toe at an angle.

I think that depends what condition causes you to have overlapping toes. I don't think this would be a permanent fix, this is rather relief...kind of like stretching after strenuous exercising...it feels good to have them on, they definitively provide some relief after a long day, but I do not believe that they can fix any serious condition permanently. But then again, I am not a medical professional. Good luck :)

There should be no reason why not, however, I never did because I purchased these as training skates for balance and to help my 4yr old granddaughter feel more comfortable on the ice... not for long distance skating... just to make sure she didn't hurt her ankles so early in the learning process... Happy to report she now runs on the ice, no longer needs to hold mommy's hand and this year is graduating to single blade skates!

You can change them yourself. There are even videos on YouTube that show the process. Its very easy! I would waste time and money taking it to a service center for that. Hope that helps.

I agree on keeping the anti skate at zero. Anything else results in tons of skipping. I set the counterweight at about 1.25. I changed the cartridge, though.

It has a female 1/4-20 in the cold shoe end. Maybe you can use a piece of threaded rod and some nuts?

No, it uses velcro to hold the big toe in place. You can adjust the velcro to keep the big toe from bending more or less.

Yes, I struggled with this too. Put your thumb under the white tab, and pull it to your right for the right shoe, to your left for the left shoe, in a smooth, continuous, firm motion. Practice in the house first - when your out in the snow/cold/or needing to get that shoe off quickly, you want to feel confident/comfortable you can do it. Good luck!

Personally, I would keep looking for a better quality shoe stretcher. When I tried to tighten it down, the plastic broke, so now it is useless. Plus, there was nothing there to actually hold the stretcher in your shoe. The black part does not go inside. Keep looking!!!

Hi - I put the toe forward. Make sure your poles are screwed in tighly. If not the little boot might move with the pole. It should face forward.

There's a tiny Reset hole on the back.... You'll have to use a pin because the hole is smaller than an ink pen tip.... If this doesn't work you can do what I did.... Return it and make them unfreeze it..... Be sure to have them send you a return number so you don't end up paying shipping... Good Luck!

Hi there! You could easily cut through the silicone to eliminate the little toe section. I think you could probably get through it with scissors, and if not, try an exacto blade.

I don't think there's any way to secure a toe clip to this platform. It's really meant to provide a wide platform for cycling with sneakers or something like that. Maybe it should be called "very occasional riding"!

If the prongs that hold the ice in place are not stuck in the ice that can happen. Also if you use a foot pedal the machine goes faster. You are supposed to use block ice with this machine and from experience if the ice have shaved to the point the prongs in the ice have reached a low level the machine will stop shaving the ice.Adjusting the blade is only for how fluffy you would like the ice to be.

I looked all over amazon, the web, and all of the stores in my area and came up with nothing. My toe was broken and I needed something to keep my toe from bending so I used popsicle sticks and sports wrap. Wasn't very good. Good luck!

You can cut the toe part a bit. Hold them to your foot at the store to see if the arch will be in the right place. I buy mine smaller rather than larger and trimming because my natural foot arch seems to be a little farther back. Just put them to your foot to see what will work best for you.
