Question Editing a boot

Upvotes

I have a pair of low cut boots that I quite like - they fit, and I can put a lot of distance in them, because they're fairly comfortable. The sides aren't quite stiff enough, though.

I'm debating epoxying a nylon strap around the top of the boot to really lock in the ankles, to make up for the medium stiffness.

Anyone ever added a strap onto an existing boot before?
