The Brian's Smart Strap Toe Tie simplifies how a goaltender can attach their pads to their skates, while gaining further benefits. Made with double-layered nylon elastic band and military grade Velcro, the strapping system weaves through a goaltender's cowling, just like traditional skate lace. To hold together, simply attach the Velcro at the top of your skate. Within seconds, you're done. The Smart Strap Toe Tie also provides further benefits; the nylon elastic band allows for a goaltender's feet to sit in a more comfortable, natural position while in the butterfly. This relieves stress from the ankles, knees and hips, which are common areas of high stress for any goaltender, especially those skating multiple times a week. The Toe Ties easily lace in to any pad with a toe bridge installed.
