Moving blades

My coach thinks my blades need moving but not sure if it is possible on my boots which are Jackson Mystiques. Does anyone have any experience of moving blades on these boots or know if it's possible? They have screws, not rivets but have a plastic sole.

Search the forum. There have been a few questions and answers about adjusting/moving blades.
It should be possible

Provided you blade is screwed on there is no problem in moving blades on plastic soles, you just need to buy epoxy adhesive to fill any holes. 'Unibond Repair Plastic' is a nice package which squeezes the correct amount of each tube to make it easy to mix. I've found using a paper clip dipped in epoxy is easiest to fill in each hole as its important to make sure the epoxy fills the hole fully.
You should wait 4 hours to make sure its fully set before drilling any other holes.
Beemer made a great post here on how to adjust your blade

Thanks guys, for the help. I had a word with Smelltheice earlier today and he is going to do them for me - hurrah. I'm really hoping that this is going to help me get onto an outside edge, especially backwards.
