AcousticBoarder Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm new at carving and I am looking for a pair of size 24 hard boots. Preferably step-in compatible. Bindings would be great too, though I'm considering a board and binding set right now from a seller. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENNY Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I have a used pair of burton reactors size 23.5. There dark purple with a little bit of green. Haven't been used since 2002. I'd sell them for 40.00 and 10.00 for shipping to CA. For a size comparison I'm a womens 7.5 and these just fit. So not sure if they would be too small. Let me know.

Bora20 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 And I have a set of step-in bindings with heels for sale. http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=33342 Make me an offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just want to make sure I'm measuring this right... foot against the wall, measured in cm I am 24.5 cm from heal to toe, and I am a size 9 in regular mens shoes. Does this sound right? I also recall that you should round down the boot size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this sound right?I also recall that you should round down the boot size? I am a US size 9 in regular shoes and I wear a MP26 boot, which is a US size 8 for most manufacturers. However, if you get 24.5, then you should be looking for MP24 boots. Make sure you aren't pushing your heel into the wall to hard so you aren't getting a false reading. I went to a sports store and had them measure my foot using the big chrome foot measuring tool. It uses MP sizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Alright, that sounds about right then, thanks. BTW, I haven't seen the step-ins you have before, any plus and minuses compared to the TD3 ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bora20 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 They provide more lateral flex than the Bomber bindings, which can be better for an all-mountain setup, new hardboot riders or for lighter riders. The provide full range of motion: toe lift, heel lift, canting, and an easy release system without pulling up your pant legs. Heels fit Burton, Deeluxe, Head, UPZ. http://www.upzboots.com/bindings.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticBoarder Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks all, I bought a pair of boots. I may still be interested in step-in bindings. though probably for the end of the season or next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
