Guest Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Nads Can I ask a question, sorry I dont know whether you are a boarder or skier. However, plan to board this weekend for the first time, skied last year for the first time. Can you tell me if the bindings for snowboards are dependant on shoe size ?

Lama 0 Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 hi sorry to but in, but yeah binding size does depend a little on shoe size. they generaly come in small medium and large. i have found it best to fit your bindings to the shoes you already own or vice versa.... also depends on the make of the boots and bindings. e.g i own burton custom bindings and saloman boots size u.s. 10.5 and strangly enough they fit perfect with my M size bindings. but a D.C. boot of the same size would need larger bindings because they are a chunkier boot. any body else found a similar problem??
