Lack of lateral (sideways) support determines when a boot breaks down.. and that can happen without lots of creasing in the boot. Creases typically facilitate forward bend in a boot that is simply "broken in", but they can contribute to break down when they are extreme.
So creasing is a sign that my boots are broken in?
What's the flex notch?
There is a bit of creasing near on my flex notch. Should I be concerned?

I don't think my Jackson Elite Plus boots will ever show creases, because they are so hard. I think for boots that stiff, the breakdown is more from the insides of them.
