One of the more common modifications you can make to your Rod Lavers is making a few cuts in the front part of the shoe to make a 'toe box', in turn helping with toe stalls. Now, I've heard my fair share of "you're cheating!" or what have you. I always say that you can't win a drag race riding a tricycle. The absurd truth of it all tends to break any tension. My point is that to play any sport you need to have the right equipment. Since freestylers do not have a shoe made specifically for what they do, they have to find what's available and adapt it to fit their needs.
