NSSage Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 So lately I have been having a problem with my boots being a little too loose around my calfs. I don't think it is enough to effect my riding but I would like it too be tighter. Any suggestions? I ride in deeluxe boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc H Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_koozie Use the cheap ones. Cut them to your preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc H Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Put them in the front of your boots. It also helps by letting you back up a few notches on the buckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger jr Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Are you using some kind of booster strap? I can't ride without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcarve Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Take a look at Shintronics at Manoove.com I've been using them this week, and they amazing. Although I'm using them for an entirely different reason than you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donek Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Some of the versions of thermoflex liners pack out faster. I replaced my liners after a couple years for some stiffer ones. Talk with Michelle and see what's available. I've also heard some prefer the intuition liners as they are stiffer. Stephanie from Equipe in Stratton looked at my boots/foot last year and informed me that I have a low volume ankle and the Deelux boots are high volume. I've started riding with these tongue inserts she sold me that take up a lot of the volume in the cuff of the boot. A boot fitter is your best bet. Remolding your liners might help for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarvingScooby Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 So lately I have been having a problem with my boots being a little too loose around my calfs. I don't think it is enough to effect my riding but I would like it too be tighter. Any suggestions? I ride in deeluxe boots I'm assuming you haven't done these adjustments on the DEELUXE but if you did then please disregards: MICRO adjustment on: BUCKLESl Twist/turn "Clockwise" to make it shorter Reposition: TRACK METAL TEETH Unscrew and move away from the buckles. No heel lift? If you do experience lift then u might want to check the wire strap length if the MICRO adjustment on the ankle/arch buckle is max in. Hope this will help, RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSSage Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Carvingscooby, already moved the metal teeth back and have done the micro adjustment on the buckles. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
