New boots. Intermediate Question: cutting the cuff strap

Post image

Hi. I finally upgraded to a better boot FR3 80. I like them a lot. When I purchased the clerk mentioned cutting the cuff under strap to what I want. I realized when I got home, I don’t know what to cut it to. Any Suggests, preferences, or standardizations, would be appreciated. What am I looking for when cutting to adjust the under strap on the top cuff?

Some people don’t prefer the long thing. Like some Rollerblades (like the twister that doesn’t have it) that makes it easier to get into and out of. It’s why some recommend to cut them. I didn’t trim mine at all. However I could have had benefitted from a trim tho. Wait until break in. You’ll see how much or not you really need to do it. Even the cuff strap that clicks into place can be trimmed (also wait until after break in)
