And your diagram is a lot cleaner and easier to follow

Thank you. That is why I did it that way.

For those that are interested, I have blogged about the mods I have done over the past few months to get them to where they are today. You can read about it HERE.

Jedifyfe, I'm confused are the inner wings supposed to sick out like the outer sides? or is it supposed to be flush with the mid sole ??
They protrude like little pods

they are a thicker material than the originals. It looks better protruding slightly actually.
 
They do protrude at the base or more to the point, the side wall is vertical and the mid-sole tapers under. Each wing is a wedge in cross section.

This mod looks amazing! How did you do it?

If we could find a material to match the colour of the upper's cloth, it could be done by gluing the material to some thin EVA foam. I tested this idea with the materials I had on hand (months before Vline posted this) by just making one side 'wing'. It needs a thinner foam than I used (might need ~2 mm?) and the cloth material needs to be slightly stretchy to be able to be pulled into the triangle 'finger pull hole'.

as for how to attach it, I'd probably sew it in where it meets the velcro, and at the top, use glue with maybe some small sewn bits here and there... I'm no seamstress though so any sewing I do needs to be hidden away.
I haven't gotten back to trying again due to my recent move.
..... nope, didn't keep the photos because it was a failure. Sorry.
 
Thanks ! DragonGalvy, you were Vdirty ?

So the main issue is to find the crrect fabric that matches the color. I would attach it the same way (glue and a bit of sewing)...
About the EVA, yep, I guess taht a 1 or 2 mm would be better and the strap would hide the different levels between this additional part and the original shoe ;)

What about your entire foam based shoe ? I saw an attempt to make a Mag from Foam. Did you finished it ?
 
Vdirty is the guy that made that awesome looking cloth over foam MAG. I wonder if there has been any updates?

nope, sorry, wasn't me, he is someone who had the same idea about improving the V2s upper and more time to make it.

as for the old foam shoe, haven't had time to do anything with that. the foam wasn't the right type, needs to be thinner. Don't know when I'll have time to try that again. When I get my workshop/shed rebuilt at this new place maybe.
 
I've not seen any news :(
It's like there is a spacetime hole around thoses who are making MAGs... Remember Caloss... :(
