if you are having a hard time getting your foot in on day 1, that is a good thing. if you get some other boot that isnt like that, it will be sloppy before the season is over.
pull out the outer tongue all the way, loosen up the inner lace by pulling up the red tag at the bottom, open up the inner boot wide
you can do it. it gets easier, too.
boot is sweet, very high build quality. I have a pressure point on both ankles but i always get that with any boot. Maybe i should have heat molded them rather than just go out and ride for two hours.
next day, pressure point is feeling better so I'm sure they will just mold to my foot soon enough. otherwise boot is great. loving the reinforcement and rounded bit at the heel and Achilles area for where the supermatics slide around the heel and up. nice design statement.
