How to Toe In Kool Stop Canti Pads

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about which way to toe-in the Kool Stop Eagle Claw 2 pads.



According to Kool Stop instructions the longer portion of the offset pad should be facing the rear of the bike. I'd imagine that due to the offset of the pads that this longer, rear-facing portion should be toed-in (or heeled in), to provide the most even rim contact.

However, according to the Park Tools, the toe-in should be at the frontward facing end of the brakepad. This is what I've traditionally followed for other brakepads.

Should the Kool Stops indeed be installed the opposite way (heel-in)?
