I am an imbecile?

Apparently I am retarded. I put on my booster straps by myself and thought I was measuring everything out correctly but they turned up like this.

They are really far off to the side on one boot, should I take em out and try again? Take it into a shop? Or will they still function ok?

They should be fine.  I run WC Boosters on my Tecnica Agent BC120s and they're not screwed on, just loose.  But if you think they look goofy, just remount them.

Oh, and a quick tip when putting holes in your straps.  Heat up a nail or awl and poke a hole, that way the edges are melted and won't fray.

It won't hurt to redo them. I have done the same thing. If you really care, thake them off, put you're boots on and bucle them, then mark where the holes should be.

Just refit them. Mine are full of holes; they've been on 7 different pairs of boots since I bought them in 2002. Oldest piece of gear I own and still going!
