Do I Get Booster Straps

My personal opinion is that adding a booster strap to a boot (even if it’s one with the extra layers of rubber) won’t increase the stiffness of the boot. It will however provide a more secure feeling to your lower leg, hep reduce shinbang, and provide better energy transfer. Aside from a footbed, I think it’s the next best upgrade you can get for a ski boot. I highly recommend checking out Patriot footbed’s tru straps 2.0 for slightly better liner+shell cinching than your traditional booster strap, or the atomic one previously mentioned (a bit more expensive)

That’s more fact than personal opinion but either way it’s correct yeah. Provides a closer fit and better response, doesn’t add stiffness at all

If I think that my boots are too soft for me, should I consider getting booster straps to make them 'stiffer'?

booster straps arent gonna make ur boots stiffer lol
 
well, it won't help with the tongue stiffness. but it will help the top of the boot fit more snug. which might make them feel stiffer. i say go for it. they help with shin pain and make the boot feel like a part of you

Sometimes people mistake have a soft boot for a loose boot so if you think that fits your bill it may help but I don't think it could hurt to try them either way I'm about to pick some up to help me with my shin pain boots fit good around my foot but I got a bit of room in the shin area hoping they help with that.
