martyagt4 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Where would one look to purchase these? Used some this weekend that were nice and thick up front, and it made a huge difference in how my boot fit. Want some for future moldings. Google is not being my friend.

John H Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I just cut the toes off of a pair of neoprene socks. Most kayak shops sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyagt4 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Not sure how those are built. These had a nice thick area up front, probably a .25" or more. It was not compressible in the slightest. What it did was push my heel back into the boot. Made a huge, positive, difference in the way they fit for me.
