Baller DanE Posted April 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2014 @phillips No, just heat molded the liners. My point was just how big a difference heat molding can do. However I do not have any experience with stealths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Lucas Posted April 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2014 @phillips mine came with just that basic manual showing the do's and don'ts and the tension settings. All you will need are an allen key and screwdriver. The foot pad piece does pull out and doesn't have any adhesive. The screws are a pain to get to and tighten fully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator1 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Buy yourself a bull nosed Allen wrench to fit the bolt heads in the boots. Cuts the PITA factor quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Lucas Posted April 30, 2014 Baller Share Posted April 30, 2014 @gator1 do you mean ball nosed allen wrench? I'm not having a dig at you, genuine question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator1 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 @Lucas yep that's what meant. You can buy long straight BALL nosed Allen sets. Without something like that or @efw frankenwrench getting the bolts in the boots tight is a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillips Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Frankenwrench? niiice. My Stealth celebration may be short lived, just to update the group. I tried the size 11s on again and stood in them about 10-12 mins and my feet were both getting numb spots, just too tight. Mostly too narrow, which may have worked out with the heat molding, but also the angled toe box portion felt too short. The top of the boots make them look long enough, but the toe area angles upward and can't see that improving with heat molding. And can't risk to "try" the heat molding and then not be able to return them, too expensive for that. I think the size 12s would work fine, my feet are probably considered "wide" - get the 10.5 Wide new balance shoes at times. Even if they are little long in 12, the uppers would keep my feet from sliding pretty darn sure. However, being told there are no 12s available from same dealer and none from Connelly. At least not with a definite timeframe. Seems odd being May, will try to make some other calls, but if cannot find 12s I may be back to square one.

Baller Lucas Posted May 1, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2014 @gator1 yea connelly sent one of those out with the boots, still very hard to get them tight. I guess it would have been too easy for them to make the holes over the bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swerveit Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 So looks like I'm coming off my FM's and going to Stealths , however they are very hard to come by in the UK. I've managed to find one set the wrong foot forward just for sizing.luckily a very good fit, Seems the front boot is slightly tighter but still very comfy. Out of interest what do people take in shoe size vs stealth size? Ie nikes? Did anyone else find the front foot slightly snuger? Did anyone drop an innersole in the back one ? Unfortunately I can't try another size on but suspect any smaller it will crush the front foot. Anyone know any floating about size 10 RFF ?

gator1 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I punched holes in the toe after awhile got tired of fighting Allen wrench. Drill snags liner so be careful. Front boot fits tighter on me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Lucas Posted May 12, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 12, 2014 @gator1 once you put the holes in, did you have any troubles with the material freying or ripping or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator1 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 nope. And the ball nose allen wrench I'm talking about is 8 inches long and has a socket adapted on the drive end so you can hook it to a socket rachet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
