Today i learned that i dont really like spk pros, i bought them because they fit me the best out of every boot at my local shop but the dont fit me at the top of the tongue (because there is movement.) and i can't tighten them any more. i guess i will just live my life with shin bang.

thats my rant thanks for reading.

well hes saying that booster straps might work.  would you rather drop 30 bucks on a booster strap or 350 for new boots?  or do you just want to complain about it on ns?

ya its dumb because it curves up at the top and the power stap doesnt fo over that part making a gap were shin bang will occure, so i put in a liner from my size smaller boot and the its the perfect size so i will try that out.

i have spk pros and i got them fit at my shop. i noticed how curved the tongue was, and it didn't fit flush with my shin, so i got it cut and widened so it would. hopefully your shop will do this for free.

put your powerstrap or whatever they call the strap at the top under the shell, but on top of the liner. it will hold the liner closer to your shin and help a shitload.

might be a dumb question but did you remount the buckle teeth over as far as they'll go? i've got skinny shins and do that first thing on every set of boots i get.
