RBK 5K goalie pads: What's the bottom lace for?

I just bought new goalie pads today for the first time in about 8 years (RBK 5K's) and while I've figured out how to strap them on for the most part, there's a shoe lace attached to the bottom of the pad that I'm unsure of.





I'm assuming I'm supposed to re-lace my skates with the lace attached to the pads. Meaning, I would need to unlace and the re-lace my skates every game to remove my pads. Is this right?

The lace you are talking about is the toe-strap. You lace the strap through your skates. You take one in each hand, and each start on one side of the skate at the toe. Then you weave them through to the middle, bring them to the top of your skate, and tie it. Confused?? I just learned myself, and my pads stay in place so much better.





Hope this helps!
Reply:exactly what hockey girl says. At first it seems a little confusing but it really aint.
Reply:From what you are describing I would loop them under the foot of your skate in the holes above the blade.
