I have a pair of Solomon boots and after getting them out of storage I
noticed that one of the bindings on the upper part of the boot seems
stiff. It doesn't automatically lay down flat against the boot like
the other bindings...Does it just need oil or could there be something
else wrong?

Visual inspection doesn't show any difference from the other bindings.

thanks,
Rogue

If you oil i, don't use WD-40! Use a teflon or graphite oil like
Triflow.

They say not to use oil. Use a silicon or graphite substance to
lubricate it. It probably just needs adjustment. Or perhaps you can
take your sword and shave off a little bit.

Silicone. It's not only Hungarian warriors who make that mistake.

True enough, one might fine silicon a little gritty.
