Just wandering hoe you change the flex pattern of these, bought them off ebay without the manual. I have changed the part on the back of the boot from stiff to flex, can i soften them anymore?

Cheers for your help..
 
there is a small notch you should be able to cut out to soften them. if you take the liner out there will be a point where the 2 pieces of plastic overlap one another, kinda 4 inches above your achilles alot of boots have the area dotted to cut out. if you heat it up gently with a hair dryer first and then use an exacto, or any decent ski store will be able to do this for you. If you want them way softer though its a much bigger job and you risk losing the rebound in the boot or the bounce back which is very important.
 
Take them to a shop. You could easily ruin them, and it sounds like you

don't know what you are doing, because a lot of boots have a slightly

thinner place in the back, or even a line to show you. You can have

them take a little out, and keep taking more until they feel good. You

can really screw up the rebound as eddie said if you do it wrong.
