So when do we get to see your work? Given what you have shown so far, I think we are in for a treat.
Guys some of you are very talented! I order a v2 pair from karin and a few days later the electric stuff gone wrong. So i decided to open the shoes in order to replace everything. I will learn from you i hope
I think in many ways the Chinese made this way more complicated than it needed to be and placing the electronics in the sole was not the best idea.

So who's going to attempt to spray their shoes with NeverWet first? Might be a great idea to give the inside electronics a little added protection against any accidental water contact. My v2's will only be for my movie display, so I won't try on them. I am going to pick a pair of my regular shoes for times I need to go out in the rain.

If you could remove the foam, you'd probably find the toe would take on that shape without 'correction'. I've been squashing them and they are beginning to loose their boot shape to the point where they actually look OK from the front. They still have the rounded front and will continue to do so whilst that foam and toe box remains inside.

Impressive. Have you moved the switch from the tongue to collar?

No I haven't. I prefer keeping it with all the other electronics. I'm seriously thinking about buying a 3D printer to help me create a compact housing and wiring case to place in the tongue. This 3D case will hold the 9volt battery, complex wiring, and on/off switch all in one small package. I'm still drafting some designs by sketch.

Hey guys, all of your mods are AMAZING. I jut got my pair of Mags yesterday and I've watched all of Jedifyfe's videos and read threw literally every page of this thread. And am planning to try this myself. But I'm worried cause there's different versions of this shoe. Are they all made the same way?
I have done about 9 conversions and yes they are all made the same way. Though I can say that some are better made (or harder to take apart) than others. Sometimes the toe mod is slightly easier on one pair and then VERY difficult on another, due to how they glued it to begin with. That also goes for the sole separation part of the conversion as well. Sometimes the soles release from the midsole easily and sometimes not. It's frustrating but TAKE YOUR TIME...there is no rush. If you rush it, they will turn out like crap. The old adage is "measure twice, cut once"....meaning check your work before you cut or glue.

I definitely will, I actually was thinking about waiting until I buy a second pair so I can have a back up haha. I've never done anything like this so I'm kind of scared. Especially considering how much these shoes cost (with shipping I spent about $300)
