Just got me some FT seth's because they fit like a glove ,but the flex ( #10) is too stiff for me I can barely flex them at house temperature

I'm about 5'9 (176cm) and about 140lbs ( +/- 63kg)

What flex tongue should I get for 35/65 park/allmountain

btw neither hotdoggers or konflicts were in stock.

6. failing that, anything softer than the 10. there's a really big jump from the 8 to the 10 flex.

There still were some #8's and #4's available shop is trying to get me some #6's before the 17th but it seems like the whole country ran out of them.

I know it's better then a 10  but won't a 8 still be too stiff and a 4 too soft?

Someone told me that you can use a XL tongue  (30 - 31.5) shell on a  M boot (26 - 27.5 shell)
for extra support.
A shop in my country still has some #6 in a size L wich is a  28 - 29.5

enlighten me +K

no such thing as a 7 unless you are talking about the tongue that is flex 8 in the middle and flex 6 everywhere else
