[RC] Tightness of Boa boots - Kristi SchaafTerry wrote: The tongue is a little stiff when they are new, so be sure to crank them on snugly at the beginning of the ride. Terry (and anyone else using Boa boots): I have a question for you. The directions indicate that you should be able to insert a finger deep enough along the side of the boot to touch the horse's coronary band (or something to that effect). But I found that in order to do that, I have to leave the boots loose enough that the tongue has the same appearance as the tongue on a pair of teenage boy's clunky basketball shoes that he didn't lace up in order to look cool. I've only had them on my horse once, and didn't dare tighten them any more because the directions are pretty adamant about that. But are those of you using Boa boots finding that you can/should tighten them so the tongue isn't sticking practically straight up? Kristi (who is tempted to put a basketball jersey and sweatband on my horse - it would make a great Halloween costume with the Boa boot 'sneakers'). iluvdez at yahoo dot com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
