Subject: Important question for Jamez, or anyone else who can help ..

I was just wondering if you could help me out. I have Lavers now, and I'm sure you've modified some before, so maybe you can help me with mine, since some I don't really understand/can't do some of the modifications .. I will the mods that it says from footbag.org as the guide, but if you could explain to me fully, or give me some hints to make it easier, it would be appreciated ...

"1.Remove the insole (assuming you have your Spenco insoles without any support, just flat green neopreneish stuff ready) and the entire insole. "

I was able to remove the insole without any great problems ....

"2. Remove the stitches that hold down the front toe area. But not all the way. Stop when you get to the leather strip that runs around the toe. That stays."

Yep, I can do that too, and I did do it.

"3.(Most difficult) Carefully remove the hard canvas stuff on the inside of the inside part of each shoe. This is delicate because you don't want to cut through, so pinch a little from the outside and pull from the inside, then gently nip at the inside with the scissors to weaken it, then get the scissors in there carefully and open a small slit, then use your pinky finger to separate the canvas from the nylon and carefully cut out the canvas. Then most difficult, remove the canvas from under the toe area using similar technique. "

This is the part that I have major problems with. I tried this the other day and I couldn't understand it or do it. First, what does it mean by pinch a little from the outside and pull from the inside? Is the thing I am trying to remove the hard stuff that is underneath that black cushion thingy that is the bottom of the insole? Does this really make a big difference? What is a good way to get it done? Please, help me out with any information possible! Oh yeah, and when it says remove the canvas underneath the toe using similar technique, what does that mean? I don't see any canvas under the toe, or anything like that ... This is all confusing, I'm hoping you can clear it up ...
