How tight do u keep ur boots?

mine are fairly loose.

they are super soft boots so i dont really have to worry about shinbang
 
as tight as they go

lots of times i have to adjust my socks cause the boot is so tight its cutting off my circulation to my foot
 
i always have trouble deciding. i usually just keep them tight and then loosen them up on the chair. you have no control if they are loose especailly if you are dropping switch
 
i think im wierd i dont like mine tight. i dont like em wicked loose but i do prefer them to be comfortable
 
seriously, who actually buckles their boots?

I my friend has to buckle them cuz i have no upper body strength and i like them soooo fucking tight
 
I usualy go with them lightly buckled for the first two runs and then tighten them down after that, but not so much that I lose circulation, then I pop them lose for the chair ride, This way I never lose circulation and always have plenty of blood in my feet. What can actualy help your skiing is if you do a couple of beginer slopes with you buckles oppen/very lose this then works on you ballence.
 
as tight as i can get them with my hands on top, 7/10 over the arch and nothing on the toe-buckle. i leave those undone for good luck. its a superstitious thing, plus i have wicked bunyuns from wearing ski boots all these years.
 
yea i forgot my boots the other day and had to rent a pair and they sucked. they were all loose and didnt fit my feet right. i didnt realize how much of a difference boots made cause i have some pretty nice ones. it actually messed up my skiing

tight all the way
 
My feet are numb for the first 2-3 runs of my day, I keep them pretty tight. I'd buckle them a bit looser for park because ski control isn't quite as important there, but I ski the mountain.
 
my boots are loose, i only buckle them to the first notch, and they usually come un done when im skiing, i hate them tight because it kills so much when you land backseat with really tight boots... since i've loosened them this year i've never had a problem with shinbang
 
you get shin bang from you boots bein to big...but i wear the top part very tight, and hardly tighten the bottom
 
My Ski Boots were as loose as a dublin whore until a few months ago. I started tightening them and got way more control but my feet get all effed up. Im not sure what to do...
 
depneds, on my boots (dalbellos) the flex is altered with how tightly the boot is buckled. if im jumping or really skiing, i crank them down fairly tight. if all im doin is jibbin, loosen those suckas up for mad amounts of flex. nosepresses, butters, brokens, royales, soo much easier with the boot opened. skiing switch is better too, cause it lets you bend your legs a ton more.
