I have these 7.0 skates that were made over in Europe & I like them but they have the nylon toe caps & I can't seem to find pro tec toe for them. I do see it on eBay & stuff but no1 will ship it to me over the border, they say they can't do to customs rules..guess you can't send any liquid or chemicals type stuff over the border so I'm hoping some1 can help me out here... I haven't seen protec toe for a long time so if u can help that be great! this is what it looks like:

Who's skates are those? That tendon guard looks like something Oshie would do

[Beezy28]

Philip Larsen?

[timdog]

No idea, I won them on eBay size 71/4D they also have a lift in the heel, I actually have two pairs of 7.0s to try out..also grammar is going to send me some toe protector he has left over so I should be ok. Thx for all the offers guys nice to see some very helpful members on the site'that means alot!!

I'm 99% positive they belonged to Larsen.

Timdog,

Did you buy those off me on ebay or did you buy them from someone from Europe? Those pictures are from my ebay listing a while ago. Those were obtained from a NHL team so I don't think they were made in Europe.

Felt toe caps are only made in Europe.

[timdog]

Those are from eBay & yes they were made in Europe. If 7.0's have a felt toe cap or a widened tendon gaurd or a solid black graphite bottom they came from the European factory cause those things are only done there at the Bauer factory..

[timdog]

Another thing about skates if you ever wondered... retail have size tags on the tongues no skate made in a pro factory has a size tag. Pro stock skates are made from the sole up,the size should be sharpied on the sole under the foot bed never a size tag. Another way to tell retail from ps is when the footbed is pulled out look at the bottom of the skate retails are black, pro stocks are white.

Aren't the toe caps nylon, not felt?

[Beezy28]

I think they are. I've just always called them felt.

[timdog]

Ya I've also called them felt toes..
