Customizing your Skates
Heel Cutting Nimh Skates
This is a video demonstrating the process of heel cutting a pair of Nimh skates followed by a short edit testing the skates my rail.
Heel cutting your shells provides more room to size down to a smaller shell without comprising the structural integrity of the shell. Cutting the heels allows your foot to move further back into the shell and sit more centered over the frame, improving balance and overall control while reducing heel lift.

Great idea tho. and thos Remz look So nice with the blue on. any edits or reviews how the remz skate once the heal is cut out? would it help people withd wide feet? as i find remz kill my feet but iv always wanted to just skate them LOL.

just get a size up if the skates hurt your feet from them being too wide.

That’s a hell of a lot of effort just to go down a size. I always rode xsjado’s so I never had any problems. I’m on Remz OS now and they did hurt but I just endured it until I broke them in oh and I cut off the toe strap and that ridiculous lump of plastic the strap receiver is located on down at the toe because that was stabbing the shit out of my little toe.
