u can move the 3rd bucle so it gets a different closure over your instep, it depends on how u want the boot to fit.

what does it change in the feeling though, do you recommend it for park use? is there that big of a difference? I just remember talking about the rampages and how they have the inverted buckle and i figured this make the boot have more of that inverted buckle feel or w/e. I probably don't make sense, im tired.

if u mocve it to the other position, the closure will be like the dalbello's. it just pulls the boot tighter around the instep, as opposed to the upper part of your foot? get it? kinda...?

I have a high instep and i have found moving the 2nd buckle to the second position creates more room and for me a better fit around my instep. Try it you might like it there or you might hate it, its only a 30 second change over so no harm in testing it
