Full Tilt Boots & Ekstra stuff

Hi there, last year i brought my first pair of Full Tilt Boots, and after i had them fitted they snugged to my feet so good!

But there were some parts to adjust different things with the boots including forward lean & canting. But then there were also some black sticker-like things with the boot?

So my questions are (and bear in mind, i am no good skier really just curious):

What are the black stickers for?

What difference does different forward lean mean? Like to a more forward lean tend to help backseat landings or?

i wouldn't play around with canting unless you know what you're doing. this will change the angle of the cuff on the boot and if done incorrectly will give you some serious pain.

forward lean will not help with backseat landings. all it does is helps you customize your stance. if you like a more aggressive stance, use more forward lean. most park skiers today take out the wedges and just leave the boot upright.

I've had the canting adjusted in store by a boot fitter :)
