this is the pullstring for the liner, DO NOT CUT IT OFF. You use it to tighten your liner and gives you a good/snug/comfortable fit.

well it is getting the job done, and no the strings don't get in the way, every single snowboard boot has this design and they don't get in the way. I have tried these on and plan to get them, and when I tried them the strings do not get in the way/ruin the fit at all

If the thread about shin bang is right this string will tighten up the boot against your shin and so help protect from shin bag. So dont cut it out, hope this helps

don cut them off its ridiculous that the lower price salomon boots haven't got these wires. SHAME ON YOU SALOMON these wires cost 10cents and really improves the fit in the boots
