Posted: Jan 25, 2013 3:55 am Post subject: Binding size |
|
|
Hello everyone I'm new to wakeboarding all together. I just bought a boat last year and started kneeboarding and tubing. But my wife bought me a wakeboard for Xmas. And the bindings she bought are a med. they said they would fit my feet (size10) but they are so tight that they hurt my feet. So my question is what would be a good binding for my wider feet? |

slj029, If you are 10 wide a large binding would probably be your best bet. What kind of boot is it? Some of the older water ski style boots will be a lot tighter. Anything made in the last 3 years or so will be snug but comfy. Do you have a shop that would give you an opportunity to try some on? What brands are you looking at? Some fit a bit differently (kind of like shoes) depending on the brand. |

They are liquid force alpha bindings. And there isn't a shop around me that would have any for me to try on the local marinas don't have any. So she had to order them. |

Here's a great buying guide to give you a lot more info on correct fit, features, etc.
http://www.evo.com/how-to-choose-a-wakeboard-boot-and-bindings-size-guide.aspx#Fit
As far as general buying goes, just generally follow your shoe size (in addition to their generic "medium", "Large", etc. terms they should also list a shoe-size range). That is to say, if the wife got you a size 8-10 binding but you're more of a 10.5 (or like you said, wide 10), I'd go with the next size up. |
