: Thanks, Jim

How low to hang them depends on where you want your foot on them. Personally I like the ball of my foot on the braces if I can help it. Some like it different, suppose it also depends on your foot size, probably not gonna work the same if you wear a size 6 shoe or if you have a size 14 :)
