Full Tilt Tongue sizing up

Does anyone have experience throwing a XL tongue on a 26.5 FT boot? When I originally ordered the tongue replacement, the sizing indicated I need a medium tongue. However, I came across some stuff on the internet that said Seth Morrison recommends the next size up because it has a taller shin and more wrap around. EVO did not have a L so I ordered an XL to see if it would work but I'm worried it might be to big. What do the steeze lords say about this. Also, if anyone has a 10-flex tongue for sale, I am very interested. I only went from a 6 to an 8 because stock is limited.

I have bought a lot of FT tongues over the years and always bought the recommended size, but I had never heard of this. In theory it seems it could make sense, but I have 0 irl experience doing so. I may try it with my pair. I do have a brand new pair of white 8 flex tongues in a medium if anyone needs also

I skied with a larger size tongue for years. I would get a #10 27.5 tongue to fit a 26.5 boot, this was before they made the 12 flex. It does make it stiffer and it sits higher on the boot. I have had to get longer cables before if the stock ones didn't fit the larger tongue
