Jess, thanks! Wow size 11, would not have thought those would fit into the madisons but rad you tried it. Cartels are a pretty stiff, burly men’s binding so could understand the calves hurting from them.

Are there any shops in AZ that you could bring your boots to so you can compare the boots to the highback? The 390’s might work but hard to say. K2 bindings like the formula’s might work as well. Just tough to know until you compare the highback height to your boot.

Hey Shay – thanks for all the great reviews. Binding question for ya – I have the Madisons and I love how they ride, but after a few days on the mtn they are not fitting great with my size 11 boot – I had a shop modify the toe strap to be longer but even when I crank it super tight it slips on my boot. I live in AZ so it’s hard to find them to try on so I end up ordering online. I used to ride some Burton Cartels from a friend but the highbacks dug into my calves (painful riding!) which is why I went with a women’s binding. I’m wondering how the 390’s highback is or if you can recommend any men’s bindings that have a reasonable highback for women to ride. Thanks!

I own a pair of the normal 390s, and they feel a bit (maybe it’s just me) heavy. Also, the paint on the highback started peel off a bit, and that’s a bit annoying seeing it’s a premium binding.
I also have a lot of positive things to say.
They are comfy and responsive, the design is wack, and the straps hold your boot snuggled in. Overall I am very satisfied I bought them. They look sick on my banana.

I just bought these to replace my Union Datas, and they live up to everything I expected. With my datas I was never really able to get them dialed in so they were truely comfortable, half way through the day they start to hurt my feet, especially when hitting kickers. The 390’s took a few minutes with a screw driver to get dialed in….but now they are amazingly comfortable… super plush and cushy…but still pleanty responsive. My only complaint with these bindings and Rome bindings in general is that I wear a size 9 boot, which falls directly between their two sizes…the S/M are too small and the L/XL or barely small enough…luckily they are VERY adjustable, so I was able to get them dialed in. Solid bindings, well except for the flaking paint… buy them. I have some Union Team Datas for sale now.

Per usual…great review Shay.

Is there any major different between the Rome 390 and Rome 390 Boss?

Are they heavy feeling…like the targas? Compared to Shaka are they more responsive?

Rad. You happen to know if the baseplate cant will be on any version of the Targa? And what exactly is the rocker baseplate? Conceptually and just eyeballing, it looks like something similar to Forum’s Good Vibes baesplate?
