Title: Heel of shoe in bocks
Post by: dlipford370 on April 02, 2009, 06:11:37 AM

Whenever I buckle up into my bocks, the heel of my shoe has to be kinda pressed into place, due to the two "wires" or metal bars, i don't know what to call them, but the things that run on both sides of the foot plate.  Is this normal, or should I find a different pair of shoes.  This also leads to my shoes being stuck in the bock when I pull out of them, unless I pull with my heel out of them, which is fine, just seeing if its normal.  Thanks.

you mean the heel of your shoe is wide and gets stuck between the support rods?

can't really do any harm, as long as you don't bash your ankles on teh support bars like i do :D
