Previous Feedback
Comments: I got these to replace original toe stops that came on my R3s. I got the long stems because they're the same length as the ones that come with the R3s. I was nervous about them being too big or too much of a change and tripping over them, but they just give me more grip and stability. I've only worn them to one practice so far, but am loving everything about them. I have not had any issues with them turning or twisting and getting in the way of my wheels.

Comments: I really wanted to love these toe stops as I found that they lasted more than Sure-Grip Shock Stops. The width is great.However, these swiveled so much and bit my wheels on the regular. I could not go a practice or game without having to adjust. Being that I use my toe-stops a lot, I am opting to move onto another toe stop. I will say that I have not read many reviews on this product so my issue could be a unique issue with my plates. If it was not for that, I would definitely classify these as my favorite. :(
