Last years Nordica superchargers have a canting system on them, I don't use it.
If you need it, Nordica might be the way to go?

Ive always liked the slightly forward feel to my boots- but thats me. I have never fiddled with my canting.

If i've fiddled with my canting on my superchargers is there some way I can put them back to normal?  like turn it all the way in and a certain number of turns from that?

Canting is not forward lean.  It is meant for people with fucked up ankle/knee alignment.  It makes the cuff twist slightly as it is flexed forward to compensate for pronation.  Dont mess with it unless a bootfitter decides you need it.

You're talking about cuff alignment. And everyone should have it checked. Go to your shop and ask nicely.

canting is the forward angle that your boots are set at. My Salomon Foils ahve adjustable canting, so you can turn a knob with an allen key and make the upper part of the boot farther forward, for a more aggressive all mountain stance, or farther back for better landings in the park.

Is canting really forward angle? I thought it was something else. I'm wondering 'cause I've got collapsed arches (pronation) which came from too much sport as a child, which also resulted in slightly knocked-knees. I've got orthotics, just wondering if canting would do anything more to help.

oh, whoops, my bad, I turn the thing that says "canting" and the top half of the boot moves forward.
