i shortened one stilt by 2.5 inches and added a bend to take the excessive pressure off the ankle. i also stopped testing with bungie cords and started using straps that don't stretch. ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD. i bought a bunch of cable and bungies to try both. cable wins. i can still fit this new configuration into the overall design. shit's looking up. the eye bolt you see at the heel of the shoe( or at least that extra metal to the right of it) will have to be reworked. that's pushing it in terms of still fitting it into the Elite's ankle.
