The patent pending Shot Blocker XT Shorty offers what all other products on the market are missing: The ability to skate as though nothing additional has been added to the skate. Weighing only 50 grams per skate, players can play to their full potential and not worry about noticing anything different about their skates. The middle hinge allows for full movement when skating and the material, a high impact modified engineered resin which is over molded with an energy absorbing thermal polymer means the Shot Blocker XT Shorty can even outlast the skates themselves.
STEP 1: Unlace the skate completely and start lacing from the 1st (bottom) eyelet.
STEP 2: Continue to lace up to the 4th eyelet.
STEP 3: Lace through the 4th eyelet on the front of the XT Shorty, continue to lace normal behind the Shorty.
STEP 4: You are ready to block shots
The Shot Blocker has been manufactured by podiatrists who are experts in the area of foot and ankle biomechanics. If you feel the product is restricting your movement, simply move the XT Shorty up one or two eyelets so the hinge of the XT Shorty matches your ankle flex. Rather than starting at the furthest eyelet, you may start one or two up. Drew Doughty has been wearing the Shot Blocker XT for over 5-years without any restrictions in his ankle area. The XT Shorty should not restrict your motion unless it has been laced incorrectly.
