I initially bought the triceps rope to use with it as well but the triceps strap that comes with it twists enough for the horseshoe for the triceps, so I returned the rope. Ive had much better luck with the smaller bar plates (3/4 inch), which are available just about everywhere. 5 shoe, and ordered an 11 and these are fine. These are an absolute BARGAIN! Very easy to assemble, it?s a great size and fits all her shoes perfectly. Excellent fit. Don?t order! Pretty decent for price. I store my Tombows, Distress markers, Zig Calligraphy and Chameleon markers in these perfectly since these are long enough to store the longer types of markers that do not fit in average marker storage systems. I am like the Carrie Bradshaw in this relationship.
