I've done about every alternative, this works

I've tried about everything when it comes to attaching to toe if the boot to a skate, and they all either last forever, but don't give at all, like hockey laces, break quickly, like the Bungie cords types, or wear out and become a liability after a little wear, like all the elastic straps/velcro that come standard on leg pads now. Toe hooks simply work, and I might have to change em, once a season, after August. Toe Hooks give when you need some extra flex in the toe, and help re-center your leg pads on recovery. They can take direct puck impacts repeatedly, and they don't stretch out till they're pointless, like anything primarily made of elastic. Every time I change out my pads, or my son's pads, I usually replace whatever gimmick is on the toe bridge, with the exception of my son's last pad set, as he wanted to give the elastic strap thing a chance. Obviously I'm bought them again, so spoiler, the Velcro unraveled, and he's about knocked himself out slipping on the loose hanging strap. Another nice aspect is if a toe hook thing breaks, a coach in the box can replace em right there, without taking the pad off, unlike anything else, which usually requires either removing the pad, OR, jamming your hand between the skate and the bottom of boot, to reattach/repair or what have you.
