Anybody know where to purchase a stiff material shaped like a footbed to use inside of a sneaker to facilitate mounting to a quad plate/frame? Or even what kind of material to use and I can cut it myself with a jigsaw to the shape of the footbed.
I had a pair of "sneaker skates" many years ago and recall it had such a stiff material to back up the heads of the bolts inside the shoes. Or any other suggestions that would be helpful. Thanks

This thread is about anal drilling.
http://skatelogforum.com/forums/show...+fiber&page=12 It's about drilling your boots and it's anal. On the last page (I skipped to it) is a pictur3 of a carbon fiber plate on the bottom of a bont carbon fiber boot, that plate is exactly what you want. Dillo, passed away, sadly, but a search of his threads will...like the thread I posted, show various ways to use carbon plates in or out of the boot to secure the skate plate. |

Get a sheet of 3/16" or 1/4" UHMW and cut to shape. Cuts easily, is rigid enough to line a sneaker, but will give a little bit. Countersink the hardware inside or use tee nuts.
https://www.mcmaster.com/uhmw-polyethylene-sheets Dragonplate laminated carbon fiber is also good stuff, but is really stiff and a little overkill.

DVW - thanks for the suggestion. I always wanted to check out the dragonplate based on Richard's posts, but the UHMW is a whole lot cheaper. Amazon prime has 12"x12"x1/4" for $14. If i remember correctly, the dragonplate would have been around $60. I also assume the polyethylene would cut and shape easier.
Merry Christmas everyone! |

Just another thought on the UHMW -Dillo (Richard) was always over the top when it comes to minimizing weight on the skates. The UHMW looks like it is quite a bit heavier than the carbon. Like anything else, there are cost tradeoffs, and the really good stuff is exponentially more expensive than the OK stuff. Maybe start with the UHMW, and when you hit the sweet spot with plates/boots, future upgrade to the carbon? Cheers and good luck!

![]() In the size and amount you'd need for a shoe liner plate, it would be irrelevant.

Has anyone tried these:
https://rollerskatin.ca/products/par...g-shoes-detail It looks like they would only fit certain plates though. |
