ROCKER TOE MODIFICATIONYou may find that a rolled toe modification or shoes that already have some enhancement forbreakover don’t provide enough improvement for the foot movement. A “rocker toe”modification may be a better solution for moving the point of breakover back further, withouthaving to move the entire shoe back. The steps in the modification of this Kerckhaert Standard Extra showthe simple process to create the rocker toe. Of course you have to consider how to adjust the toe of thefoot to accommodate the rocker- usually an adjustment you can do with the rasp, but important to match toyour shoe modification.
