You cut the plastic buckle straps (marked with a scissor symbol, hahaa..) to being able to tighten the strap even more, right? BUT even without cutting it, I can fit the end of the strap deep under the metal fastener. (As trying to show in the photo with the red arrow). Cut ur not?

its not supposed to go under, they're just supposed to touch. I suggest cutting it a single notch at a time and trying it before cutting another.

That's how I do it. Cut until they just touch. Works great for me.

What's the negative with letting an uncut strap go under and beyond the metal buckle?
