It is pretty easy once you get them and figure it out. Most boots have a piece you can unscrew and just attach the new strap to. PM me if you have questions

yea the one thing is some people like to put the strap underneath the plastic, instead of overtop, so experiment with whatever works

they are supposed to go under the plastic flush against your liner. not over plastic such as normal powerstraps. Do not go over plastic with boosters

Thats what I do, but I have FT's so it wouldnt really work under the tongue. It makes a huge difference too.

I have always worn my boosters under the tongue. It works fine on my full tilts. I also know kids who like the strap on top of the plastic so try out both ways and see what you like best.

Ill be honest I used them hoping they'd get rid of shinbang and I was disapointed. they dont stop the shin bang that 90% of NS complains about. they stop the shinbang you get from doing bump skiing and other shin pain related to banging the front of your boot. most people on ns who have shinbang (including me) get it because they land back seat so what essentially it is is a shin splint. landing backseat causes your shin to flex and right at the point/s where it flexes is where you start really to break your shin... your not going to break your shin from landing back seat but the more back you are the more that bone flexes and feels like its tearing your shin apart. and booster straps can't do anything about this type.  Sorry for the disapointment. but theyre still awesome to have if your rocking boots with a shit strap or that are a tad too big.

One of my friends removed his old strap and drilled new holes through the back of the strap and connected it to the back of his boot. Looks pretty legit

i have used them on my old nordica supercharger boots and on my full tilts, they have helped tremendously in both cases. not only do they help shin bang but they give the boot so much more life and pop. combined with my FTs my shins are in fucking heaven.
