From what I have seen if you look at the EVO and compare it to the TLT the TLT actually has a rivited in tongue that you are required to use. It also keeps the boot reasonably dry in my own experiernce with both boots.<br /><br />Just easier to make a lwt TLT than it is a durable and dry EVO imo. Cheaper too :)<br /><br />Not looking for a duct tape answer. Duct tape will fix anything. But it is not THE answer I am looking for. Good stuff though. Let us know what you come up with on your own boots.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-84484547841440127922013-11-08T06:53:00.822-08:002013-11-08T06:53:00.822-08:00Dane, could I offer up a flipped question? How ab...Dane, could I offer up a flipped question? How about what could you add to the EVO to make it better than a stripped TLT? Its not like anyone really uses the TLT tongue so that means snow gets in those too.<br /><br />Ive seen Aliens on some vimeo video (wish I remembered which one) where they had added duck tape below the laces covering up the big gap. Maybe something similar could be done for EVOs? They are a lot skinnier and that seems like it would make them climb ice better (something I want to confirm/deny this winter). Then, maybe if the sole wears out there has to be a replacement that works, I know its something you have looked into and seems to be tricky but Im guessing its out there.<br /><br />Im not sure this is a good approach but thought Id toss it out there.Jesse Morehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965053595724729149noreply@blogger.com
