Tight enough so they are comfortable. To tight you can get pins and needles 😊

I don’t like them to tight, but tight enough that the shoes don’t move around, if that makes sense 😁

They should be comfortable but certainly not loose. On a long session you may even need to adjust if your feet swell a little (several hours).

Elastic locking laces may help.

I started with them too tight, and I was getting some pain across the top, then went for too loose, and I was getting a different pain across the top... I think I managed to find a balance now, though for some time I just used elastic laces :)
