How many of you guys skip the top eyelets on your skates. I am currently in Supreme 190s and find the tongue too stiff. I have been playing around with how tight I tie them to allow forward flex. Just received info tonight to use wax laces and do pretty snug but skip top eyelets. Any opinions on this? thanks, Dave

Im in s190s and I do them all up. If you want support snd forward flex, skip the second one to the top.

I'm in super tacks, coming from a tech mesh boot (v cut) I noticed the stiffer boot was hindering me from getting my knees over my toe. Dropped down an eyelet and problem solved.

I second Ian. Skip the second for some more forward flex, skip the top for a lot more.
I went from all the way up, to second and now I just skip the top.

Much better with top eyelet open. Forward flex seems much better. Still need to tinker with tightness mid tongue but definitely an improvement. Thanks guys.

In 190's. Skip the Top eyelet as well. Tried them all the way up at first. Def not enough forward flex.
