Thanks for the help greeky04 appreciated
no worries mate. Most people start out with the toebox mod. You can either cut the toebox area and stretch it and glue back in place or an easier way but not as good, is to run an iron over the toebox on the steam setting, shove a sock down the toe area so you minimize wrinkles. Or a combination of both is the best way to do it an thats how jedifyfe does it

Broken Mags here
I wanted to ask anyone to share their thoughts on my current situation with my v2 rep air mags. The right light panel of red yellow green will not light. It worked for a few minutes and then went out. Everything else is working great.
is this something I can fix? Could I perhaps pay someone to fix it? If so, who?
anyone I can pm?
thank you.

To be honest the electrics that come in the shoe are pretty crappy. It sounds to me like a loose or broken connection to the LED board if everything else is working correctly.
This is a pretty easy fix if that is what the problem is. Jedifyfe has some tutorials on YouTube on how to access the LED board, search out his name on YouTube and see if this is something you would be capable of doing yourself.
Paying for someone to fix the problem maybe quite expensive.

has anybody got a pair of UK size 7.5/ US 8? I got a pair of UK 8.5 and they seem a touch big. I know they run big and im usually a 9 hence the 8.5. Thing is do you think it'll be wise to go down further still to a uk7.5? currently my big toe is about an inch back from the front tip of the shoe. But is snug all round the sides. Advice would be great if anyone has these?

^^This. You can drop some size by doing the toe mod for sure.

Yeah. My wear pair is 9.5 and initially they were slightly big, so I packed them out adding a new high arc sock liner. Now the toe is flattened, they are snug. I should probably pull out the original sock liner and see if that gives me a bit of space back.
na didnt do the toe mod. probably not going to either. Done the flat laces thing, look great. Cheers for the advice, prob be best to stay with the UK8.5 then. Good thing Karin hasn't shipped them yet.
One day i might grow the b**ls to do the toe mod. Maybe im just thinking to much about it....
Cheers guys
How much better does the ankle bubble look with the correct LEDs...AMAZING..such a difference. Just gotta frost it up

I dont believe any has done a video tutorial on the steam method.
The way I did mine was I got a sock then put it down in the toe area snugly then got a handkerchief and placed It over the toe area then put the iron on steam setting and run a couple passes over the area and press down with your palm. Make sure you keep checking with every few passes. Hope that helps

Hi hi guys, after figuring out that my LEDs weren't getting enough power I charged the batteries up to full capacity and tried again. But still with no luck. All the LEDs light up now except the very last green bulb on both led boards. I am using the resistors you see in the attached pictures, a fully charged LITELONG 880mAh battery. All wired in correctly. I used a Multi-meter on the battery and it's pushing 8.78volts. Any help with this would be great.
How can it run EL on top of this,? If someone can spot what I have maybe done wrong.......?
if someone else has the same batteries can they do a quick test and see what they are producing on a full charge. Both my batteries are pushing the same voltage when fully charged.
Thanks M

Yes i agree, it would explain why the power drops as it goes down the LED bands. I have ordered the right ones...from hong kong!...gonna take ages.
Hate it when that happens, you press buy it now, process your order..THEN you realise its from china or Japan. fail.
Still, hope this resolves my problem. Thanks guys
