Talei, salomons fit narrower so you should be fine. I just noticed for mine I would have sized up but they still fit and just needed to be adjusted better. Are you able to try your boots in the binding before you buy…I’d recommend that to know for sure but the size is 6-10 for women so you’ll be fine.

I’m looking at purchasing the K2 virtues, but I’m a bit worried about the size. I have fairly wide large feet (fitting a solomon kiana sz 7.5 boot). You mentioned these bindings can be narrow. would you recommend something else, or just going a size large binding?

gotr0,

Awesome on the bindings, sorry to hear the ratchets are sticking for you. I'd say it's more irritation than anything, you could always contact K2 to get spare parts to see if that fixes the issue.

I would be worried about a kids board holding up since they really are meant to be outgrown and would doubt they last as long. Just remember board length goes by weight more than height so your weight will have more to say than your height on selecting length. What are you looking for in terms of a board, what's your riding style, location and weight?

So far so good. Really like these bindings. They're super quick to get in and out and I need that since I'm an instructor. They seem pretty durable so far. They def get tighter (sometimes too tight) and more responsive than my last pair of bindings.

Only negative thing about them is the ratchets on the toe straps get "sticky", after I crank them they stay up instead of going back down. Should this be a big concern?

I would also like some advice on a new board. I'm thinking of buying one before next season so I'm not in a hurry. My question is I'm pretty short 5'3", I want a board about 138-142, maybe on the shorter end so that I can cruise around in the park. But my delima is can I buy a kids' board? Some kids' boards would fit me just fine, but I'm concerned about how it would hold up. Do you know if kids' boards are made with the same quality as adults?

ahh! I’ve been eyeing these bindings since my bf brought home the catalogue a couple months ago…! It was either these or the auto agogos which are hot. Thanks for the imput cause I definitely want to pick up a pair of these this season, and you just made it a done deal. Cheers! -nikki
