Spk kaos red thing?????

[mBall]

Picked up a pair of Spk kaos. REALLY satisfied with them. Quick question. What is the red thing in the back kind of behind the calf? You can supposedly lower and raise it? How does that effect the boot?

 

[wiglaf]

its padding, for when you land backseat.

 

[mBall]

Bump. just ate arbys..... But what does putting it up or down effect it?

 

[buchanan.]

not everyones calf is in the same place on thie leg relative to the to it. and i'm pretty sure its called a calf spoiler.

It looks pretty cool

i took those off of mine for a more custom fit for my rather large calfs

 

[T_orageskiier]

i just got those boots to and ya its just calf padding

it's like what you get on the back of a car, it increases downforce so that you can turn better, keeps your skis on the ground for extreme carving. FACT.

 

[Lemuel]

prove it. i dont believe that at all. its for supporting your calf, you can move it up and down to get more support up higher, even though its not alot. its on all boots

 

[Oli_jgb]

Lol...I was being sarcastic...

helps promote more forward lean as well, giving you more pressure on your toes in the boot, enabling better turns and helps to reduce backseat landerssss

But id does help with downward force.

Higher spoiler=a bit more forward lean=more pressure on the ski coming from the toes=you ski like a fucking champ because of more pressure.

FACT

 

[Oli_jgb]

Good point!

 

[uni-corn]

A heel lift would do the same thing.
