I agree.

I recall reading of proper boot installation prior to doing my own
CV's. Can't recall exactly where Could have been here:

Good info btw.

Anyhow....

It is possible to incorrectly install and secure boot so small end of
boot is pushed too close to the big end. I guess if too close, bellows
would rub and/or just "turn" poorly. For lack of better description.
