Modified Twister Buckle

I just modified the lower buckles on my Twisters. They used to hook around and into the shell of the boot, which caused them to protrude into my ankles and give me hot spots.

I used some speaker wire to attach them to a lower part of the boot. I’ll find out tomorrow if this does any good.

UPDATE: the new buckles I made are perfect. I skated all day today with the hotspot from yesterday and it didn’t bother me once!
