The Revolutionary Hook for Hockey Goalie Pads

These are awesome. The bungee's do break, so I just started making my own. 1/4 inch bungee works great, make a loop and attach or get hog rings and crimp em. I keep spares in my bag just in case, and just use zip ties to attach to my skates. I play 2-3 times per week and the bungee usually lasts a month or two before I notice its frayed and needs replaced.

I have tried a few different solutions for toe ties. The most recent I tried was the velcro bungie toe ties. The velcro became clogged with ice and just failed. So I went to these. I have been using them for months now, and love them. They are easy to hook on to, and satisfy every need I have. I had one bad batch, but when I wrote to the manufacturer, they addressed that right away, and took care of me. I am super satisfied, and will continue using these.

These are fantastic. They are easy to use and have great responsiveness for my 10u goalie. The only issue we have is one of them occasionally pops out so we have started taping them in to prevent that from happening.

One toe broke within two skates. Didn't like that I could feel them scrapping the ground while stretching. One would come off the hook during big movements. Second one broke after less than 10 skates. Paid way too much for it not to hold up.

Put these old old ECHL pads because they are quick to put on and take off for beer league and when I fill in for the 18U team I coach. I am getting older and I figured why not, but they actually hold up incredibly well. I can easily go into butterfly and hit RVH. My movement on the wipes is great, I can put a ton of force on the elastic between my toe and pad to get from one side of the net to the other. I'm sure traditional toe straps are more durable, but I haven't been able to break these babies yet.

First off the product itself is a great idea and works well for goalies. What isn't to like about it? It super quick. Easy to put the hook and band on the skate and the pad. Nothing to bad when looking at it from a distance.Now to the issues which are primarily on the band used to keep the flex and hooks to the pad. The band is crimped into place which I have found to be the primary culprit of the failures we have endured with this product. The band seems to have a life of as little as an hour to maybe 2-3 weeks before it will break. It tends to either come out of the crimp or will completely break because of the crimp being sharp or crimped too tight causing damage to the band and its outer materiel.On a less critical side I would recommend this product for a mite or a lower level squirt goalie when they are learning the position.If you or your child are at a competitive level where fulltime goalie training and games are the norm then I would not recommend these as nice as they are. Keep with the straps or laces because even if those break or come loose you can simply tie them in a knot in a pinch and you are back in the game. These on the other hand will break often and not a 30 second fix to a potential issues hence the reason why I say use for smaller kids or kids just learning the position. Stay away from this if you are full time in competitive leagues.I did read other reviews and it may just be a quality control issue but I have bought these online and from the local hockey store and the issues were the same over the course of a season using these (Less than a season and 3 packs later all of the bands broke). I will not be buying these again and it is back to laces and straps for me as I have never had a failure with those that could not be fixed in under 2 minutes and never had to worry about a failure in the middle of a game or tryout.Mites/ Learning Kids = GreatCompetitive kids / Adults = Stay away

I've been using ToeHook's for my goalie pads for a while now, and while the product certainly has its merits, there are a few drawbacks that potential buyers should be aware of. In this review, I'll break down my experience with ToeHook's, discussing both the positive and negative aspects.Pros:Decent Quality: The ToeHook's are crafted from sturdy materials that provide a solid grip on the pads. The hooks are well-made and do their job effectively by keeping the pads securely in place during intense games.Easy to Attach: Attaching the ToeHook's to the pads is a straightforward process, even for those without much technical skill. The design is intuitive, and the installation instructions are clear, which is a big plus for those new to using goalie pad accessories.Full Set Inclusion: One major advantage of purchasing ToeHook's is that you get a full set for both pads, eliminating the need for additional purchases. This is particularly appealing for those who prefer a comprehensive package.Cons:Durability Issues: Despite their initial promise, I've found that the ToeHook's tend to tear or rip after several months of regular usage. The lifespan of the product seems to be around 3-6 months, depending on how frequently you play. This can be frustrating, especially given the price point.High Price Tag: Speaking of the price, it's worth noting that ToeHook's are on the pricier side. While the product does offer a full set for both pads, the cost might be a deterrent for some potential buyers, especially considering the relatively short lifespan of the product.No Option to Purchase Loops Separately: A feature that would greatly enhance the overall experience with ToeHook's is the option to purchase replacement loops separately. Instead of having to invest in an entirely new set, being able to buy just the loops would be both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.In conclusion, ToeHook's for goalie pads are a mixed bag. The product boasts decent quality and ease of use, but the durability issues and relatively high price point are notable drawbacks. If you're willing to make the investment and don't mind the possibility of having to replace them every few months, then ToeHook's could be a suitable option for keeping your goalie pads secure. However, it would be great to see the manufacturer address the durability concerns and consider offering replacement loops for purchase separately.

My daughter needed something to attach her skates to her goalie pads, as they kept slipping down. Enter toehook! We read about them and they seemed like just what we needed. They shipped quickly and were super easy to use! They are also durable and have held up well.
