The way to set your canting is so that your knees, ankles, and hips align in a centered, athletic stance. I think it might be tricky to do it yourself correctly without any professional input.

i think this is what i saw the bootfitter do tthe other day
take your liners out of your boots first, i can't remember i think you do this next part with the footbed in. put your footbed in the boot then your foot (or just your foot). move heels to the back, flex forward roll around in the boots then stop in an athletic stance, and look at where your shin part of your leg is relative to the boot. after that i have no fucking idea how or which is which on those canting things. don't quote me on that but i think thats what the boot fitter did

Bull. BTW. Dalbello boots have a very centered cant out of the box. It should not be a problem at all.

This is how to quickly see if you need to align the cuff of your boots: this process if for a neutral cuff alignment.
1. remove shell from liner
2. place footbed in shell
3. stand in shell, on top of footbed.
4. look to see if you have equal space on the inside of the cuff and outside of cuff (that your leg is directly in the center of cuff).
5. adjust the cuff alignment bolts so that you achieve this equal space between your leg and cuff.
it does depend on your boot/cuff mechanism but if you have dual dismantlable cuff alignment hardware it will be the easiest way to do this.
