Shred Gruumer Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 (edited) I own a couple pairs of the poweride wing thingy. So I came up with the below.. almost too stiff ha. Full-tilt pro flex tounges expert 12 size extra small. Cut and modified to fit boot. If your boot has a front boa I guess you can get creative but usually you don't get front standard lace up which it kinda needs. Don't think about put these under the boot tounges it will crush your foot.. Boots are new nidecker Kita Hybrid. I also use Full tilt pro liners (intuition). Topped off with expert stretch booster straps. I love it...I can rest my shins on them like hard boots.

This has been a hack since the Raichle Flexon’s in the 1980’s It’s been almost 30 years since I last ran those, but if I were doing it again, I’d have a stiffer front one than in the rear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still a great design for the tounges.. the material is much better than back in the day. The 12 flex...you can't bend them by hand.. crazy stiff. I bought another set off of EVO. $19 plus the BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want stiff, they’ll give you that. The design of them offers an even flex and they go under the laces well. In the 80’s and early 90’s, I ran them with my Koflach Hunters.

The nideckers are pretty sweet..the boa heel is the best I've felt. Add the prowrap liners and booster. It's a pretty tight kit..as the kids say. Go back to your Burtons..

slabber Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I also wear my 'underwear outside the pants' even though it was suggested they should go behind the tongue. Been very happy with this setup this year. Not as next level as Shred's but getting the job done for me with my vintage boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
