Using Lowry Sports Toe Hooks is straightforward and designed to make the life of a hockey goalie easier. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install and use Toe Hooks:
Before installing the toe hooks, make sure your goalie pads are clean and free of any old lacing or attachments that might interfere with the new setup.
Locate the toe bridge area of your goalie pads—this is typically at the front bottom part where traditional laces would go. Position the Toe Hooks according to where they align best with the holes or attachment points already on your pads.
Depending on the model of the Toe Hook (like the TOEHOOK2PT or TOEHOOK3PT), you will either screw them directly into the pads using the provided screws and t-nuts or attach them using the elastic extensions and Velcro strips. Make sure they are tightly secured and the hooks face outward.
Adjust the position and tightness of the hooks to ensure they provide a snug fit without restricting movement. The hooks should allow enough flexibility so you can easily attach and detach the pad from your skate without too much effort.
Once the Toe Hooks are securely installed, simply hook them onto the corresponding part of your skate. This part is usually the toe cap or a designated loop near the toe area.
Make sure the hooks are securely fastened to your skates and that the pads are comfortably aligned with your legs and skates. The connection should be tight enough to prevent the pads from shifting but still allow for necessary movement during play.
