I got these tongue shims for my race boots (Atomic Redsters) because the fit of my cuffs wasn't as tight as I wanted it to be (even with the booster strap). I followed the instructions and preheated them with a blow dryer before sticking them on. I also added a 4 beads of superglue for good measure. The fit is now perfect (i.e. tighter without changing the forward lean of the boots) and the shims haven't budged after 16 + hours of shredding. I am very pleased with this product.
Top stuff! Totally flat feet and these feel great with support and comfort . Also Ive been skiing most of my life and these are as good as my customs
I purchased the Nordica AF 110 boots. They are most comfortable but needed some mods for performance. I first added the Trust Straps which added extra needed at the top of the boot and relieves stress on the wire in the clamp which is susceptible to stretching or worse yet breaking, so they are also a safety net.
I also found the boots to have an extremely forward lean, to the point that it’s hard to lean any farther forward comfortably. By removing the rear spoiler and installing the tongue shim it gave me the ability to really lean into the slopes. Now I have the most comfortable easy in-out high performing booth on mountain!
Patriot was very fast shipping them. They were very easy to install and helped a great deal with the Cafe closure and are making the skiing easier.
The tongue shims were exactly what I needed to snug up the fit on my upper boot. Many years ago I ran a ski shop and fit thousands of boots. I wish Patriot products had been available then. It would have made my life a lot easier!
