I used to have a pair of Lowa Strukturas that had 2 tongues - a stiff one-piece (which I used most of the time) and a hinged one that was softer and more comfortable and made a hell of a difference on long trips. Is there any softer tongue that would fit a pair of Garmont Adrenalins for longer tours?

do up the power strap around the liner only and keep the upper buckles as loose as you can without your heel coming up
2nd tongues: Not as stock. old racihle ones might be usefull in making one?

I've had good luck with the power strap really loose, and the top two buckles latched into those telescoping hook thingys.
Without having other Garmont AT boots for reference, is the tongue design the same on the less burly models, so you could easily swap one in? I believe the guy who fit my boots awhile back was talking about swapping in a *stiffer* tongue for the Adrenalin, so maybe going the other way is possible too.
