Toxics are 9165s and have yellow plates.
And.. well, that's about it. |

No, slice, you forgot to mention the sexy aspect.
And i think they feel more comfortable. |

Some people speculate that the insole is more padded or something, later on I'll think I'll break out the insoles of some new toxics and torches and have a good look/compare.

I'm suprised nobody has spotted slice's deliberate mistake.
EDIT (Later on): OK, I've taken a few new/unworn pairs of each kind of Torches (9116x3, 9117x2, 9162x5) and compared them all, and for any given size they seem identical apart from the color differences.
Red 9117 vs Toxic 9162 insoles:
The only reason the one's above appear slightly different is a little bit of barrel distortion (something that happens with close-range photography unless you take it from a distance with more zoom). And obviously the differences in the insoles below are because of a slight size difference (7s vs 8s).
Black 9116 vs Toxic 9162 insoles:
It's hard to show on pics, but honestly if you take insoles from Size 8 Toxics and other Size 8 torches, they look identical. I think we just like the Toxics so much that we wear them more and that is what makes them more comfortable. |

geez, your like my cousin. can't take a joke and over analyzes everything.
and i dont think slice putting 9165 was deliberate, i think he tried to guess the number withut going to the heelypedia to seem more heely encyclopedia like. |

LOL, I knew he guessed it wrong simply by mistake, I was just trying to be nice and make it look like slice was just testing, but never mind. So my calling it a "deliberate mistake" WAS the joke - I can make them and take them.
But I didn't make that post with the pics to try to prove anyone wrong: I made it because I've always been interested in figuring out the differences between various Heelys just out of my own curiosity. That and the fact that the title of this whole topic was ASKING what the differences are!
In fact I'm not disagreeing, I agree with you that Toxics "feel" more comfortable, all I'm saying is I think I must be imagining it, because I can't see WHY they feel more comfortable in any physical way.
So I can take and make jokes as much as the next guy, but please don't do it to much Seth, because if jokes are done too much they can become hurtful. At first when you used to give me some stick I used to give it back as that's just part of the fun of conversational sparring usually, but I sensed that you were getting wound up and thought I was seriously being nasty to you when I was just messing around, so nowadays I'm doing my best to always be nice to you. That's why I use so many smileys, and even wrote some nice comments on your youtube etc, but your tone above leads me to believe that you're still unhappy with me for something?
Anyway, all I'm saying is, life's too short to have enemies, so if there's any hard feelings between us for whatever reason, I've put it behind me, and hope you can do the same?
Friends?
Peace,
M.E. |
