    Making a boot soft.

    Hey guys, I have a pair of 2010 Salomon Spk kaos's. I know their supposed to be a soft boot but i still think it is pretty soft. For all the bootfitters out their, is their any mod o somehting to do to a boot to make it more flexy like a Fulltilit?
    Any help would be great thanks.

    I thought the SPK was soft?

    Many boots have a dotted line inside the lower boot (not the cuff) that suggest the line to trim to make the boot softer. If not find a solid bootfitter and they'll know what to do.

    Consider yourself lucky- making a boot is way easier than making it stiffer.

    Two items to note carefully: this is perminant and it is easy to screw up. Do not try at home.

    Just cut some plastic height off the cuff. The lower the boot shell, the softer the flex, thats how it works. Helps with your afterbanging too. Whatever the hell that actually means.
