Dumb Idea or no?

[Baskin.]

my dalbello voodos are too stiff, i'm only 130 pounds so not heavy enough to flex them so i was thinking about taking a heat gun and heating up the plastic on the tongue in an effort to soften it and make it weaker....kinda like a quicker way of breaking them in...I have a friend that did it and he claims it worked

but what do you guys think about?

Sounds like a great way to ruin a set of boots.

Why would you even think of doing this idea? Sell them and get a softer boot...

 

[joshua]

Do not do this. Terrible idea.

fuck im screwed then....boots suck hard dick...I have no more options

 

[Baskin.]

dude its one of the softest boots you can buy without going into a junior series where boots are made for 95 pound gapers

Dalbellos have things on the inside of the tongue that are meant to be ground down to soften the boot. Just bring them into your local boot fitter and have them do it for you.

then get stronger legs?

 

[Baskin.]

tried they laughed in my face..saying theyve never done that and the boot is soft enough as is

 

[Baskin.]

im busy enough..anyways my legs aren't weak by any means..i play lots of soccer and run..my calves are pretty muscular

It took me 5 seconds on google to learn that the voodoo's have a flex adjusting hex screw on the rear of the cuff. They go down to 75, which is pretty damn soft.

If they really are too stiff and you are competent and know how to use shop tools and know what you are doing you could try it your self.
