ive always wondered, do those protector things cover the medial side (where to soles come onto the side)too? do you blowdry them on and kinda wrap them? im also worried about slipping in sliding.

you apply them on manually.. dont stretch it too much or it will fail sooner.. I just trace my shoe out and i try to hit the mid soles as well.. then once its placed proper i go with the heat gun on them and press down so that it gets in the ridges.. I take my time because its not a rush job for me.. its all about doing it right and keeping them icey.. i double-tripled on my concords and it took me an hour to protect them but thats the sole and the side ice too.. no major issues with them..

if you buy them 2 sizes up you can get most of the mid sole.. but the way i attach a shoe is i place them on manually.. then i run the heat gun on them and push pressure down so i can get in teh ridges.. on most shoes i double up on the toe and back heel... but yeah gotta pack that heat gun when you do em tho or a good lighter if you dont have a heat gun.

theres ZERO traction on them. they sell traction pods to put over it but its still not worth it IMO

The traction is not that much different.. im not balling in them so im str8.. the little slippage is great for doing the moonwalker on the carpet though.

just take your time on the application and apply pressure in the bottom upper mid section when you apply them and you will be straight and for heat like that i would be doing double protection per shoe.. it will be worth it.. youll have ice ever when you walk in the grass and dirt
