Had some spare time today and decided to see if I could improve on the look of some of my Heelys, by subtly altering the colour schemes.

Since the 9094 "spidey" Evo's have a lot of red bits, I thought they'd look better with red laces and insoles as opposed to the usual black. So, which do you people think looks best - the redded up one, or the standard black?

The red insoles are definitely more comfortable: they're really thick and designed to stop repeated shocks from heel impacts from making your legs hurt - cost about $30 USD but well worth it Smile

Hehe, you're right (PMSL, lol)- It's weird because with most hobbies I get interested, spend a thousand bucks buying all the gear, and then 2 weeks later when I've got it all I'm bored of it. But for some reason I just really love Heelys - I've no idea why - if a year ago someone had told me I'd be spending all this money and time on shoes with wheels, I'd have thought they were off their rocker Very Happy

Might have to try that diff lace on each foot thing - it would help with working out which foot is which when recording vids of how you do some fancy footswapping tech-skate tricks LOL.

I got bored again, so you know how Torches have extra lace-holes: like 2 eyelets at the bottom, then 3 lugs up the side, but then at the top there's two eyelets on each side, sorta one behind the other, one set of which is almost always left empty. . . well, I decided to set myself the challenge to see if I could neatly and evenly fill every lace-hole (both lugs and eyelets) in a way that worked and didn't look like a mess either. Here's my result: it requires two sets of short laces for each shoe Smile

And yeah, it took about an hour to figure out and do. . . Like I said I was bored. Very Happy

I actually like the way it feels to lace - when it's tied, it's tight because there's two sets of knots, but when you undo them, the shoe slips on and off real easy - unlike usual with heelys when you have to really force your foot into them Smile
