Sew in ski boot tongue padding?

[snowful]

My foamed liners don't have much padding in the tongue and I saw some sew in pads at a shop (now out of business) a couple of years ago. Can't remember the manufacturer and have searched.

Anybody know of what I speak? Alternatives?

yeah thats the one ,what I really needed was a pad that was a constant thickness to take up room on the tounge for my chicken legs and where the foot meets the ankle and these didnt do it for me .

Instead I ran spenco down the front of the tounge and slightly onto the top of foot ,also I think a sheet of spenco is alot cheaper

Do you need the padding to take up space or prevent crushing of your tibia?
If the latter,most of the skishops have extra nordica/salomon plastic shims that can be crazyglued to the tongue to prevent that.
Works well,cost about a dollar and is easy to remove if necessary.

Used those eliminators in the past and wasn't thrilled. Might try em again, though.

Both. The tongues are thin and hard. I want to make them thicker and softer.

Yeah, I have some plastic I am considering using for taking up space but haven't because I thought it might make the hardness against my shin harder if I didn't add any padding.


hmm...
I wonder if it's possible to swap tongue guts from one set of liners to another?
