 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi. Got a pair of Nordica Speedmachine 130S boots. About 20 days use so far. One of the tongues keeps coming off when putting it on, the velco just doesn’t hold it firmly. The other one seems fine. Really like the boots but this is a pain in the back bottom, having to take the liner put to reattach the thing frequently.
Any solution? Stitch it in or glue the velcro with something?

@Tiredoldskibum, try brushing the ‘loop’ side with a very stiff or brass brush. It’s ‘hook and loop’ and the ‘loop’ side can get flattened or contaminated with lint and fluff

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Good idea to clean the hook side of velcro, they gradually accumulate anything that'll stick to them.
I've used a "hairstylist" comb, one that has a long smooth metal point for a handle, ordinarily used for lifting hair strand to style etc, pushed in close to base of hooks, then gently lift out any hair and fluff accumulate.
It's just like a shiny nail in dimensions, but quite safe and effective in this role. A big darning needle will do similar too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

p@Tiredoldskibum, how hard you pulling the tongue (shouldn't be too hard) (and are you pulling straight on (should be pulling to the side))?

.
That's what I do after seeing it on another SH thread. Didn't take much traction to pull the tongue out though

Cleaned it up, didn't seem to make much difference so I've sewed the front of the velcro strips together. See how that works, can always unpick them
