    Booster Straps?

    I was thinking of exchanging my stock velcro straps on my Salomon X Wave 10's with a pair of Booster Straps. Has anyone used these? Do they make much of a difference? Any info. would be great.

    Booster Straps

    Zep boy - Booster straps rock. Minimal investment, maximum gain... can you say 5th buckle? (Unless you have a sintessi, and in that case a 6th buckle!).
    You should be able to get a booster strap at any good specialty shop, and they can install them very quickly if you can't.
    At our shop just about everyone has a set. If you are a little bigger boned they are an even better investment.
    He who can smile when things go wrong, has found someone else to blame it on!

    I have solly boots and did something kinda interesting. I use the original velcro for my liner strap, then the booster goes on the outside. Max support, I love it. See Pics (sorry so big).

    Booster goes around entire thing




    Sorry about big pics...
