Thanks Melba!

I didn’t encounter any pressure points but it was definitely an adjustment to the feeling on the binding with my boot. It more felt like nothing over the toes, which was the adjustment. I didn’t notice or feel my boot moving around during the riding, but they made sure to really dial them in so you wouldn’t have that. It was scary the first run with them, like ok if I move around, this is going to be miserable…but I never had that happen.

I want to ride the men’s version with the webbing because i love that webbing they do and I think it’d give me more confidence in riding in them.

hey shay. great review as always… i was considering picking up the new Nitrane Contrabands this season and wanted to see if you could speak more on the comfort of the Contrabands you rode, specifically over the forefoot… were there any pressure points at all or did it feel like there was just nothing over your toes? would your boot move around at all while strapped in (shifting of the forefoot left to right or back to front)? and have you had a chance to ride any of the new 2010 Men’s Contrabands with the new V-Grip webbing strap over the toe? i’m thinking the webbing over the toe should do a lot to improve the grip of the strap and the feeling of security.

Yep crush review is coming!

Yeah I like most of the ride women's bindings, recommend them a lot and I'm on the fence with these.

I rode these things too and felt the same way. Made a good snowboard ride like shit. And for the most part, i dig ride binders.
