Fixing Spk's?

Has anyone replaced the adjustable pull strap in the front of the spk boot before?  I pulled mine to hard and it ripped out of the boot last year.    I've just been buckling them tighter to make up for the lost support, but would really like to get them fixed.

You can take it to a shop and they should be able to fix it, worst case they just replace the strap. A buddy of mine did the same thing to his spk's and the shop fixed them for him. Its no big deal

I did that too,
it's not the power strap, its the lace for the boot lining.
It honestly didn't make that much of a difference though.

yeah the lace thing, i really liked the snugger fit it gave when tightened up.  Are they replaceable though?  Plus k to all for the help.

Take them to a snowboard shop. They use the same parts as Salomon's snowboard boots and they replace those all the time.
