Skinny Calves

Before anyone hates on me, I went to a bootfitter, got a good fitting boot, but it's packing out and now I have a little bit of space between the boot and my shins. I was looking at either tongue pads or the eliminator tongue.

Does anyone have any experience with either products or have any other suggestions? +k for good answers of course

Thanks!

I also have skinny calves and I currently have a booster strap available on http://www.boosterstrap.eu/english/booster.asp or at your local shop. They replace the strap you currently have on your boots and help remove the gap between your shins and the boot.
I'm also about to purchase some Shintronics by Manoove that you can order on the internet or get your local shop to order some for you.
http://www.boosterstrap.eu/english/booster.asp this website will explain how they work much better then I can.
Hope this helps, and best of luck.

Cut up a mouse pad and stick it in between the shell and liner. Works wonders.

Those look pretty good, like a coozie for your calf, the mouse pad basically does the same thing but for cheap haha.

+k and thanks for the good responses! I'm going to try the mousepads, if that doesn't work out I'll be sure to check out the booster straps.

They are made out of foam and wrap around your calf/shin to eliminate the gap between your shin and the boot.
