New Full Tilt PROBLEM ?

I’ve been riding 26.5 Full Tilt dropkicks for the past 4 years and I love them. Comfortable , fit my foot, etc. I recently purchased the new 2020 Full Tilt T-Wall Pros In the same 26.5. Right when I got them in the mail I tried them on and it took me a solid 15-20 minutes to put them on. I Had to put my entire body weight into the buckles and finagle the cables into place (killing my fingers). Is this normal ? My feet fit great in the boot , it’s just the cables and buckled are wayyyy to hard to get in place . Will they loosen up on me ? I’ve never had this problem with any of my new full tilts

The cables are on an adjustable track (their version of micro-adjustable boots) make sure those are adjusted accordingly

No not at all, on the opposite side of where the cable locks in to the boot, there’s a little tab you can pull and adjust

don't know if this is true but the cables might also be shorter on the wallisch pro. but in that case you can just swap the old cables from you dropkicks to the new boots. also the adjustment like said is an option, pretty easy job as well.

I had a similar situation, I was in a pair of tw pros for about 4 years and just got a new pair where it is super tight in the calf. They did come with the cable itself in a smaller setting but that was a quick and easy fix. The only other thing I can think of is that I have been in a pretty packed-out liner for a while and the new liner might be taking up some of that room.
