Level9 ran out of my size in the Head i-type 10 (flex 70) boots so I went for the i-type 8's (flex 60). So far I've only worn them around the house doing a snow dance (clothed). They are nice boots but the upper buckle doesn't loosen up enough for me. I have a plate and screws in my leg and can't stand much pressure on it. I need a longer buckle wire bail. I love the shells, but the liners are too thick and I can't stand the pain long enough to pack them in.
I think the liners are thermo-molding so I may be able to heat them up in the oven a bit, put them on and clamp them down for as long and hard as I can stand to force them to pack in. Or, maybe I could do that with a piece of PVC pipe so I can use more heat and pressure to pack in the liner. I'm not sure what kind of temps to use, my guess would be 115° if using my leg and 160° on a pvc pipe.
If I use a pipe, it would be much easier to just heat the pipe and clamp it in.
I think I've seen a buckle extension somewhere in the past. But, I've slept since then.
