OSM, why?
« on: February 06, 2011, 11:04:39 PM »

Do OSM pads allow you to sit the pad lower on the foot? What I mean is, are they just bigger in height and not width? Or are they bigger in height and width?

Bigger in length for people who are taller and have a larger distance between top of foot and centre of knee

For those of us over 6'4", some brands regular sizes are simply too small. Most GN pads and gloves I need the OSMs. You shrimps don't need them! ;)

Sizes are pretty dependent on manufacturer. Hunts county are pretty large in regular, slaz and gn a bit smaller. Difference is about an inch. Again dependent on makers. What do you mean when you want to sit them lower on your foot? Use them as extra foot protection?

No he means them hanging lower on the foot the way Bell wears his.

The way that is usually done is either breaking the canes or having the top strap looser

I wear Small Mens and do this but then again i like small pads and am no giant
