Boot is totally stock except the soul plates.
I cut/peeled off the top layer of useless fabric off the tongue, scraped and melted the glue off with a lighter to make it all smooth.
I cut apart the bottom pad to be the size of a regular pad, opened it up and pulled out the thin layer of poofy foam and flipped it upside down for the black leather side to be showing.
Also pulled out a layer of foam in the tonge.
On th top padding i hated how thick it was so I also cut that open from the bottom and pulle dout the thick layer of poofy foam.
These layers of poofy foam don't do anything but make them feel loose imo.
And theyre still plenty comfy, just more responsive and slim now.
I took out the back screw and strape thing on the back, useless imo.
I have the padding set up and the straps set midway down.
Just like the way it feels that way.
I don't have a toe pad cause ive never found them to be beneficial.
With the straps being too long I decided to cut the strap in the back and melt it together so the velcro lines up properly when tighten, rather than just cutting the ends off.
I did however just cut the ends off of the toe straps.
Farmer 2 foot wraps with blue Jug inserts. Love them!
And a size small 5050 core with 57mm 90a hyper King 2 series wheels.
