I unintentionally flipped open the Krypton Pro buckle plenty this Spring hiking in the backcountry and crashing in the park. I tried to invert the buckle like the Rampage, but failed. Is it possible to use the Rampage buckle assembly... if so, where can I find??

hmmm, I didn't know that actually did something, I thought the rampage buckle flipped open more often. I have crosses and I don't think mine will be flipping open anytime soon.

I remember someone selling a pair of boots and they flipped it like that, so I'm sure it's possible. It's goin to be a lotta hassle though

^What they all said, doesn't matter if it's the regular buckle or the rampage inverted buckle, it won't stay shut, don't bother.

Take it to a shop, have them drill the buckle and teeth out and rivet them back on swapped over. You might have extra holes though if they're different hole spacings, I haven't looked at them that closely.

Yes, but pointless as they still won't stay closed.

the reason it is pointless is because your toe buckle isnt like the deciding factor of whether your boots stay on or not...it doesnt really matter that much. but if you really want to know, yes it is do able at home. i am looking at my rampages right now and i could switch it to a regular buckle right now if i had the right allen wrench. your going to have to take out the liner though to get at the screw that is on the actual boot and not just the strap. its really easy. the allen wrench might actually come with your boots too

alright, i figured it wouldnt be that hard but im not that worried about it cause like you said the toe buckle on the boots doesnt really matter is all about the ankle strap on these boots they hold your foot perfect

I wonder then, if some threadlocker on the buckle hinge would help.
