If you want to fix lace bite then here is a solution. Anyone should be able to do this and you can experiment with different designs and heights. The theory is simple - if you can extend the height of the facing so your laces aren't putting pressure on your tendon then you should be able to lace all the way up, TIGHTLY ...... AND skate lace bite free. This isn't a new idea, just using an old idea (eg the Flex 55 solution) and concepts in a different way. See the photos in the link belo
