    That was called cross stitching. You would find a good shoe repair guy in town and he would stitch a small"tic tac toe" pattern all the way around the ankle area. It would probably triple the ankle support (they came with very little). I know this practice was done until the early 1980's. I remember playing in college with a pair of cross stitched Super Tacks, which replaced cross stitched Daoust 301. 

    Those old Tacks are mid-late 1960's. Great shape. Looked to be a tad big for the original owner (a bit of heel shelf back by the Achilles). Nice find.  You should try to skate in them if you can get them on, so you can appreciate what the players of that era had to deal with!

    Awesome, appreciate the info! I might have to dust them off for a quick skate!
