lonbordin Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Back on topic... I had a pair of BOOSTER straps lying around... and mod complete. I really like how it felt carpet carving... hopefully I'll get to test Thursday evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleywarren Posted January 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Love these boots.... The shoxxter + and the spoiler set has set a new standard in my book... Fin tec... I like the liners.. What liners are those in yours lonbordin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 My FinTecs are in a box. Too damn slippery for my icy area. Reaching down forces me to stretch... ?. Good for ole' men like me. My liners are Scarpa power wrap. Feel like slippers. I'm not a fan of the stock UPZ liners. I do have a pair of Intuition plug liners that I insert when I race.

lonbordin Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Wow! The BOOSTER straps make a world of difference. So happy about that modification! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teach Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 My UPZ power straps started losing their power to stay fastened. They were the older Velcro ones. They worked great for several seasons, though. I put some Booster straps on in their place, and no more problems coming undone. But so far the world of difference hasn't revealed itself to me. In general, I'm pretty insensitive to boot issues, once the fit is there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPZ ladder ratchet straps are what work best for me in a freecarve session.. I Surf with Harcandy on my feet now.. Upz with extra comfort not worrying about my top buckle coming undone now is an extra bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teach Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Does anyone use the Booster straps the way Booster says to, over the liner tongue but under the shell tongue? And are the two-layer ones "intermediate" (versus "expert")? WW, those Shoxxter straps look beefy. What do the spoilers get you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teach Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) lonbordin, in your photo they're over the shell tongue. Booster says to put them only over the liner tongue -- _under_ the shell tongue if it sticks up that far (it does). That seems like it might not be too comfortable, but I'll try it next time. Just curious if anyone actually follows Booster's recommendation, and if not, why not. Edited February 25, 2017 by teach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My standard UPZ strap comes loose as the day progresses and I'm not happy about always having to remember to re-tighten it. Thanks. Get a BOOSTER it's for ski boots but works amazing!!!

I replaced the second buckle because she got in touch with the 3rd constantly in flexion.I had to reposition the buckle replaced higher and cut the high part of the boot because she too prevented the flexion resting on the tongue. Finally l hade my spring system ...... no hole no drill! They fit perfectly in origin hole. If people want it I have other kit in stock.. 3 different springs resistance. The Raichle strap comes in different lengths. Which one have you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
