    but other than step ins, most boots are compatible with strap in bindings right?
    technially yes, but the way the flow bindings are they have a panel at the front you click in and dont touch and you flick the back up and your off.... but the way the plastic back flick thingi is made may not suit the curve of say flux boots or rossingal or some other brand...

    in general every boot should fit every binding yes......

    bar burton which i havent seen yet and K2's
  4. deeb's..... burton is all a scam to make you buy just their product....

     

    you have heard of K2 Clickers? they are boots that dont have bindings they are solid boots with a metal bar on each side of the boot in and out.... they can only be used with K2 clicker "bindings" they are like step ins... they are not very good cayse ya get snow and ice stuck in the clicker....

     

    but burtons bindings and boards have a different sc re w set up to other boards so the standard 8 holes are positioned differently adn they only fit burton bings....

     

    flux and flow bindings fit normal standard boards they fit rad airs they fit palmers heaps of other brands...

     

    its best not to get locked into one brand cause it limits you sooo much....

     

    my mate has rad air board flow bindings and some other strange brand boots....

     

    mix and match...!!

     

    im not sure what other brands are like that but i know Burton and K2 Clickers are money mongers!

     

    \:D

  5. I Think newies still come....

    im a good example of that!

    I have been exposed to snowboarding for bout 8 years now beacuse my brother owns a board shop...

    but it wasnt untill the season (in australia july/august) that i tryed boarding...

     

    i have always wanted to but neverbeen able to afford it since its $77 a day pass...

    i went down 2 times this season and had a ball...

     

    hence the reason were going to japan... i cant wait the aussie snow was pretty POO-Sticks!

     

    i think that there will be new people but they are starting to get older more independant cause its becoming to expesive for familys to introduce their children to the sport....!!

     

    my 2 cents

  6. i have only ever worn flow boots....

     

    are you buying them just to wear in da snow or is it for boarding too?

     

    flow boots are really good i havent had any troubles but i have nothing to compare to. my friend bought "vans" boots and had trouble they had funny stitching which rubbed and werent very well made so best not vans!...

     

    i'd advise you'd want some with inners cause they tend to be a bit warmer and your foot can mold to them very easily by just taking the inner out an walking around in them... or holding a hair dyer at them and then wearing them...

     

    i will be buying boots in the coming weeks my selection is limited to flow and flux because thats what my brothers store stocks.... flow boots are good with flow bindings...

     

    i hear you can only wear burton boots with burton bindings and then the burton bindings dont fit other boards besides the burton ones... so if it were to be a long term boot/board investment i'd be stearing clear or "linked" brands (ie. ones that can only go with their own brand)

     

    Flow bindings fit any boards so thats a bonus...

     

    maybe have a look at the websites adn see waht you like them call the local stores and see if tehy have them instock save you from getting P I S S E D O F F at the shops like i would! heahheae

  7. i reckon with boots you need to worry most bout being comfortable dont worry about the price you need to be comfortable its sooo important...!

     

    maybe go to a shop try a few on rite down the style make and size that you want... then go home surf the net or get the phone book out and see where has the cheapest pair?

     

    That way you dont have to go to the shops you know what you would like and your going to get the best price you can get on them by calling or surfing... it might end up being cheaper to import them or somthing?

     

    just a thought but remember you cant pay enough for comfort!
