Are there any real differences between these two bindings?

I'm in need of new bindeings and am open to any suggestions!

I'm not positive but I think the only difference between the 07s and the 08s are cosmetic. The 09s have a new baseplate among other things and are supposedly 2 lbs lighter per pair. I got a good deal on a pair of 07s at the beginning of the season and love them.

08's are lighter and built better <BR>somewhat more comfy <BR>my 07's ripped apart <BR> <BR>but <BR>my 07's are closed toed and hurt my wide foot <BR> <BR>I rode them for a month and am willing to sell them <BR>let me know if you want me to figure a price

What size are they and what size shoe do you wear?

I wear a 10 <BR>my 08's are 10-11, so I'm pretty sure that these are too <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/619305.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/619306.jpg" alt="Upload">

they changed the plate on the 08s from the 07s. They have a plate that also runs front to back to help prevent heal lift. You can read about it here. <a href="http://liquidforce.com/bindings_watson-ot.htm" target="_blank">http://liquidforce.com/bindings_watson-ot.htm</a> <BR> <BR>I have a pair of 08's on the way cause I finally trashed my 07 transits that I got this spring.

There is a big difference IMO. I went from 06s to 08 CT and the extra support and and comfort really was shocking to me. The 08s have a new liner, the liquid liner 2. The footbed is a lot softer and moldable than before as well. I noticed they fit better much better side to side too. The changes are not just cosmetic + new plate.

what size would you suggest for someone that wears a size 11 shoe?

Except that, the 08 are a lot comfortable than the 07!!! Great boots with a conception problem!!!! Slingshot D2 are the best!!!

So what's more comfortable, the D2's or Watson's? I think I am ordering a new setup tomorrow and hopefully it will be here by labor day! I'm kinda also interested in the Slingshot Response. I'm coming from a HL Motive and am working on w2w's. I probably don't need a new board. But I want one and I have the money for it. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by dave23 on August 26, 2008)

I still have a pair of 08 Watsons in our shop. $199 if you are interested.

those pics with the red liners are the 07s. i found them more comfy than the 08. i feel they made them more narronw, amongst other things.
