anyone know of a alternative strap similar to a Booster? trying to save some money, 50$ seems like a lot for what it is.

I've had the same pair for three pairs of boots. There is no alternative I've found that is worthy. They have a patent. It is worth it

You get what you pay for man, its totally worth it to invest in something that will make your boots feel/ski better.

Cut these down to fit your boot probably. I'm not a boot fitter so I wouldn't necessarily recommend but they're practically a booster strap

This. They are actually extremely cheap when you do the math on how long they last.

Seriously? 50 bucks. I have had the same booster strap on multiple pairs of boots for 6 years.

Not really the same but I've used a 4 foot NRS cam strap on a boot with a broken strap.

I know I’ve had he same booster straps on at least 3 pairs of boots and over 10 years. Definitely worth the investment if you need them. I have chicken legs, so they tighten up the top of the boot nicely.

Have had the same pair for 8 years across 4 pairs of boots. The metal part broke last year, they replaced it for free and paid shipping both ways. Def worth it.
