I have an old ankle injury on my right ankle and lace up each boot differently for the given foot. These are the exact techniques I use. Good info for others to try!
Good stuff! Feet are the weak link for most of us...at least us flatlanders that pursue big game in the Rockies...any tips that even the playing field a bit are always welcome!
Thx a bunch bud. Got some new trail hybrid boots and the top felt loose, rubbing legs etc. First solution you showed fixed me right up. I just wanted the hi top to tighten.
Not gonna lie. Thought to myself, "Things must be incredibly slow at the Go Hunt offices if they're showing us how to lace our shoes." But after watching, these tips are actually pretty useful. I'll have to try a few to see how they work out. Thanks for sharing.
They're incredibly useful! 😊 I'm a tramper in NZ and I find the first heel lock system excellent value for my Scarpa leather hiking boots. 🥾 Stops the slipping and blisters risk. 🌿
One of the more expensive parts of a boot is the hardware. One usually sees high quality swivel eyelets on more expensive boots. Good eyelets make it easier for getting the right tension in the right places. I can't believe the Scarpa cheaped out and went with folded loops. Those folded loops are something you usually see on cheaper boots where they are cutting corners. Those are hard on strings and create a lot of friction making it difficult to get the tension right. Also, look at how many eyelets the boots have. Some boot manufacturers may use good hardware and then short change you by using 2-4 less eyelets. Keep in mind that taller boots naturally have more eyelets.
I just bought my first pair of GOOD boots, Crispi Nevada's and I've been getting pains on the top of my foot. Going to try that second boots style and take that pressure the top of my foot.
Lacing is halh the boot. You have to find the proper lacing method, for the boot to perform correctly. Also a good balance on how tight or not a boot is laced,makes also a huge difference. Hanwag TatraII, have the best lacing system, I have ever seen. It makes a great boot...a superb boot, oly by having that lacing system. Closest boots to perfection IMO...Hanwags.
Since johnny morris bought Cabelas I have lost my boot supplier. I had good luck with the Cabelas Full Draw Boot, the last pair I unboxed had a split in them. A short man named brandon in customer service at the Hazelwood Cabelas told me their boots had a 3 month warranty. Basically go jump in a lake. Tell us who stands behind their product please.

I've been pretty disappointed with crispis eyelets after lacing up some kenetreks
I agree re the newer Scarpa eyelets, it's disappointing.
The boots are still great though.
