Welcome to the Vortek club... I'm a happy VK5 owner. Your set looks great and I'm sure they'll perform up to your expectations.

As far as the strapping goes, keep everything loose except for the knee lock.

The toe ties can be tied tighter when you have the sliding toe bridge, though you may still want to put in a few knots at the toe bridge slider to give yourself a little more movement between your pads and your skates.
