- Measure the distance from heel to toe using a cloth tape.
- Subtract 1/4" and order that or next smaller size.
Example 1: Boot measures 10-1/4" toe to heel
(10-1/4" - 1/4" = 10") Order 9.75"
Example 2: Boot measures 9-1/8" toe to heel
(9-1/8" - 1/4" = 87/8") Order 8.75"
- Center the frame from toe to heel. Attach screws to slotted holes first for easy adjustment, then attach remaining screws when properly positioned.
- The recommended distance of the pick is 1-1/8" forward of the toe.
- The sole of the boot will draw down when attached. The gap between plate and toe is normal.
- To rotate a worn pick, remove set screws and rotate pick to an unworn surface and reattach set screws.
