Alright so my boots are a little loose towards the top and it's been giving me some nasty shin bang. i cant even lean back for a butter without cringing. I was wondering if booster straps will help a lot and there worth the $30. im really ready to try anything. The other question i have is if anyone has booster straps with a Rossignol Blast boot. I know you have to take off the old strap and i was just wondering how much of a hassle it is and if it works good. How many have the straps and love em? Can lean on those tips all day?

That boot is a pile of garbage. Get a new boot. Its so soft, you are bottoming it out and getting shinbang.

They will help on a better boot. Really that is the issue. If you are a 27, i have a pair of xwave 9s i could let go for real cheap

Will the booster strap fit on this boot? The boot for me isnt that bad and isnt worth getting a new boot. this is my first year skiing and the boot is fine, theres just extra slop at the top where the tong is, and my shins are killing me (as we speak). Will these fit, and do they work? Thanks,

You can make them work on any boot with a strap. The boot depends on how much Mcguivering needs to be done.

I just dont think they will help on such a soft boot. But hey, give it a try

yeah i'll give it a try, if it doesnt work i can just return them. The boot doesnt seem that soft though, im sure there are softer boots, i mean im pretty much a beginner so i didnt know much first purchasing.

You wont be able to return them. Youre going to have to modify both the boot and the strap to get it to work. IE you will have to cut off the strap already on there, drill out the rivet holding whats left in, and then rivet the booster in there. Its a cheap boot so nothing is friendly to work with.
