Does anybody know what angle (degrees) the banana is set at? I tried to pin Dr. Redden down on what angle his form (he uses to shape the shoe) is or what the difference in degrees he sets the rocker toe from the posterior portion of the hoof. It looked to me to be about 15 degrees but it's hard to tell without a protractor. I have seen him do one set of shoes with a nice crisp angle at the breakover and another set of shoes with a rather round belly. He didn't really clarify when or where he uses either. Maybe it's part of the evolutionary process of the banana to rock n roll rail shoe.
