do you use the top eyelet on your skate

I do them all the way up too. Having that top eyelet undone makes me feel like I'm going to fall over.

like jr said, it depends on the boot.

when i wore tacks, no. grafs, yes. now in s17s, no.

i did try it when i wore grafs, but had way too much forward flex.

I used to skip the top eyelet with One95 since they were providing tons of support & overall were hard to flex when laced all the way to the top.

With TotalOnes I lace them all the way up since even with custom stiffness #3 (vs retail #2) I still don't feel likei I'm getting the same support.

i have bauer x40s and i dont use the top eyelets on the skates, just wondering how many others skate this way

I do, I like the ankle a bit tighter. Just my style.

Top eyelet undone on my pro stock x60's. They are super stiff; so if i lace all the way up i feel like a bender.

I use to not tie the top two. Now its just the top eyelet. I actually like it in the manner that I can buy 84" Laces and they tie up perfectly length wise.

I skip the top eyelet, have for as long as I can remember.

[t6lock 24]

i also have x40's, i tie all the way to the top.

this thread should change or add a poll on it :P

Graf 703's--I laced all the way up.

X:60's--skipped the top eyelet, probably due to size

APX's--lace all the way up

It really depends on the fit and forward range of motion on the skate for me.

Going to have to try undoing the top eyelet, as the one100s have a really stiff tongue. I find it hard to get decent ankle/knee flexion

I don't use the top eyelet in any of my skates, which include..

Nike/Bauer One95

Torspo Surge 221

Bauer One60 Goal skates

When I used Vapors I skipped the top eyelet because they have they go up so high. My Grafs I lace all the way up because they are a little lower.
