Lang's posted this on answer for their 26-27 linings.


what are the deminsions?
The linings are 32" long by 1.5" wide and there are two peices.

You may have to sand them down. The linings that are sold are normally too thick.

Relining original shoes works/fits with the new linings offered.
However, there is/was a batch of repop shoes that are made too large.
The only way to use them is to move one of the ears & replace about 1/2" further in.
