I got some new boots and they are too flexy. How can I make them less flexible?

If they’re dlabellos roxas or full tilts u can likely swap out the tongue to a stiffer one. For others if you go to a bootfitter they often can add plastic plates to diff areas of the boot to increase stiffness.either way though go to a bootfitter and they’ll know how best to help and also in the future before buying boots go to one too.

another option is to buy an aftermarket liner that is stiffer

Why did buy them if you tried them on and they weren’t stiff enough I’m confused. But also yes, a three piece boot you could put a stiffer tongue in them. If it’s a 2 piece (Lange Rossi K2) you could put a booster strap on it but there’s not a whole lot else

Check out the pulse boot flex plates they actually really work well and add maybe 10 flex points.


Orange part in this boot

But it doesn't help you if you have a Full Tilt or Dalbello 3-piece boot, which is why people are asking you what boot you have.

Or do you not know what boot you own?

Just pick up a six-pack of these and stack 'em up, 2-3 on each side and go as stiff as you want. 130-140 no cap
