Aniska, Awesome! Are you able to take your boots to a shop that has the bindings? That’s the best way to know fit 100%. I didn’t have pressure points with these boots and bindings. Generally if you have a pressure point it needs the binding adjusted to be better fitting.

Amanda, Definitely. The K2 Auto Agogo’s offer the quick strap but it takes some adjustment to get used to it. Rome Madisons are really solid bindings with no extra bells/whistles so easy to use and really good choice.

Hi Shay. Thanks for the great review!!
I am trying to decide between these and the Burton Stilettos.
I also have vans boots. Do you have any advice on sizing as i know vans are a bit wider than other boots, and being a size 6 boot i am unsure whether to go up a size to a medium, or stick with a small.
I was wondering if there were any pressure points with these bindings? I have a big problem with pressure points with my current bindings so was hoping to avoid the problem this time.

Union Trilogy M/L with size US 9 K2 Affair boots fit great and look pretty fab on the Gnu b nice, can’t wait to try it, might have to be a snow dome trip.
Thanks, Niki

Nikki, definitely and take your boots in to see how they fit in the bindings. If the toe straps are adjusted right, they won’t have issues.

Shay, thanks for getting back to me, I have fondled the Union Trilogy but heard there are issues with toe strap and 2013 model might be worth the wait. Local shop are muttering about low stock of Agogo but will try to get hold of them, I just wanted to make sure I was looking at the right bindings, thanks for giving me the confidence.

Niki, Awesome on the new bindings! All are great choices, so depends if you want the auto system or regular strap system. Are you able to check out each binding at your local shop?

Hi Shay,
I am looking for a binding for a Gnu b nice, narrowed it down to Union Trilogy or Milan or the K2 Agogo, I only get 1 or 2 weeks a year, mostly playing under pylons and into tree lines, no parks but hitting little kickers and powder when it’s about like this year.
I wear K2 Affair boots,

Any thoughts?

Many thanks, Niki.

Dani, did you buy them from a shop? I’d take them in and make sure you have them setup right for your boot. It shouldn’t be that much effort to release them. I’d also try lifting up when you want to release, that might help if you aren’t doing it already.

Hey Shay,
thanks for that great review. I got my K2 Agogo (w/o urethane highback) bindings yesterday and I found it really hard to unstrap them when my boot was tight in there. Though I set the heel strap up to my boot, it took a lot of effort to move the release ratchet. Eventually it opened with loud “craaaack”. I’ m really afraid to damage the binding…. Do you think I just got a bad pair or do they just need some “break in” time?
Right now I am considering to return them…

Kind regards from Germany,
Dani
