RE: alloy shoes?
I run my shoes backwards on all my trucks ,they slip way less, last a lot longer."someone "knew what they were saying .and the guys that advise against havent tried it.try it at least ,see if you like.nothing bad will happen.not just alloy shoes any shoes ,it will make cheesy shoes grab better, last longer .I usually lighten my new shoes before I install as well(shave a bit of meat off),running them backwards makes them a bit slower to disengage
