Which part? Usually you have to take the whole assembly off and put a new assembly on to replace the buckle

Didn't full tilt say they were making the buckles more durable a few years ago? I guess that didn't quite pan out lol

Full tilt's new buckles are ass. All of my original buckles are broken and now I actually use the buckles from my old FT Booters from 2015 :D

Off topic but I was shocked when you started writing Finnish in a thread. A true sleeper agent. I thought for sure you were American. Mitä vittua

What part of changing the cable are you having issues with? Let me know and I can walk you through it.

Take them to a shop that sells replacement parts and they should be able to just swap them out

I just replaced my middle cable system on my FTs (not descendants but still FTs). There was a screw on the heel that took the posterior calf part of the shell completely off. I didn’t struggle with this, but I also spent 5 years in a shop. I’m not sure about the shell of the descendants, but I hope this info helps you a bit!

Take off the allen key looking screw on both sides of boot and the black plastic calf part should pull off

It should come out fairly easily. It’s just lock tighted in. If you can’t get it whip them into a shop and they will be able to do it for you.

Best way to solve this is to throw them out and buy a real boot.
