  1. Having tons of spare parts lying about along with mad DIY skills is always a handy thing…and great to know your DIY Powerfeets worked out for you 😁👏
  2. Had considered a DIY kinda thing as well at one point but then thought by the time I finished dicking around trying to get the proper shape of getting the foam to fitting the Toecap and then the proper thickness and type of foam to use, I’d probably wasted much more time and effort than just buying a pair of the Powerfeets which already has that all sorted out 🤪 Oh well, maybe try a DIY next time now that I’ll have a pair of the Powerfeet as a template 😊
  3. @Sniper9 even if skates have low profile Toecaps, my understanding is that use of the Powerfoots will still be a benefit for those who use them. For me, helping to keep the toes warm was the main benefit I was looking at from the Powerfeets, and if they help with comfort and\or performance by keeping the toes down, that’d be an added bonus……appreciated your input 😊
  4. hey @xstartxtodayx and @OldCY great to know the Powerfoots will form to the shape of the Toecaps and help with the re-positioning of them if removed…appreciate the input 😊
  5. Hi @MikeBoyarchuk just discovering this thread about the Powerfoots and had a couple questions after having read all 13 pages of the postings 😁 1st question, a couple posters here mentioned how the Powerfoot inserts helped keep their toes a bit warmer. I also noted this on your Facebook page: “We did it! Huge thank you to Steve McNeil the Ironman for doing what he does for everyone affected by Alzheimer’s! Patinage 1926 Skate - Montreal 2020. Thank you to everyone who came out to visit us on the rink and to all those who have generously donated to the cause! Special shout outs to Corey Pomkoski and Jim Parsons for the coffees and breakfast! To Rob Bourque from Adrenaline Sport Innovation for the Powerfoot Performance Skate inserts that helped keep us going for 19 hrs 26 min.” For the first time ever since playing hockey for some 50 odd years, this year I’ve started getting cold toes. It usually happens after about an hour or so on the ice depending how cold the rink is. Can you maybe speak to just how much warmth there might be using the Powerfoot inserts and helping out with the problem of cold toes? 2nd question, I noticed a number of comments about different situations on attaching the Powerfoots. The current version uses a sticky adhesive backing to attach the Powerfoots onto the Toecap. Silly question but what if a velcro tape system was used instead. I’d imagine the felt part of the velcro with a sticky adhesive backing could be attached to the Toecap and the hook & loop part of the velcro could attached on the Powerfoot. This way, one could easily detach and remove the Powerfoot when replacing, drying it between uses, showing it to others, experimenting with shims, etc., and then re-positioning in the same place afterwards. Anyways, look forward to hearing your comments. 😊
