Any word or the wise out there or closed boots to look at? I have CWB's Vapers and they only have 2 sizes S/M L/XL, have the L and they are loose. Small are too small, so I am looking to get a true size boot. I tried out the Company closed toe which was great (Randell Harris was on boat). Any thoughts?

LF, Ronix, and Gator all have really nice closed toes. Slingshot has a nice line up as well, they aren't the most comfortable for my foot shape though. Try a bunch on and see what feels good for you.

if you're checking out the CTs, definitely try on some Hyperlite Audios. <a href="http://www.hyperlite.com/product/149408/audioboot/_/Audio" target="_blank">http://www.hyperlite.com/product/149408/audioboot/_/Audio</a>

I will look into those

I saw the Ronix One's and they look very sweet, any thoughts on those?

The faction boot would be a good upgrade from your vapor. Inexpensive, true sizing, and a solid boot.

+1 for what Jarrod said.. I love mine!! super super comfy, Zero heel lift and true to size.. Jason You have wridden mine and said that mine fit alot better than yours..

the ones are a great fitting ct boot, easy in/out good flex points and a nice fit, also heat molded. i rock the cells, one of the stiffest boots out there, they feel like a snowboard boot.

i love my ct 3DS'!

+1 for the Factions. That is what I ride, and I love'em. I used to ride a CT, but since I broke my toe, and have now gone back to the OT. <BR> <BR>Open toe all the way baby!!

Just got the 09 ones. I had the 07 Cells which I thought were great. I wear a size 12 shoe but my bindings are 11 for the Ronix Ones. They fit amazing. The new baseless technology is great absolutely no heal or toe lift. They also can fit on any board. They come with spacer extensions.

09 ones are money, you'll love em, like vlxwakeboarder said, they'll plop on any board....super light, super comfy with heat mold liner....just money

just broke my toe Saturday with the CWB Answer CT's. Going back to open toe and the Answers are going on eBay.

michaelspsp 06-15-2009 6:43 AM

details please? in other words...what the heck happened?

wakereviews 06-15-2009 6:53 AM

i tightened them down as much as I possibly could because the last few times my toe was getting smashed into the front. Landed hard Saturday and the toe just smashed into the front of the binding and broke it. I haven't done the x-rays yet but there's no doubt it's broken. Anyway, that's it for the Answer CT for me. I did ride a buddy's Murray CT's and never had any instance of my toe getting smashed into the front.

k9fxr 06-15-2009 7:27 PM

I have CT issues, also. But mine are from TS inverts, landing hard. Before that I loved them. <BR>So if you are a free style guy, or land mostly on your heels, or gently on your toes...CT are fine, <BR>otherwise I'd make sure you have good instep holdback like on your snowboard boots

I like closed toes when water is cooler, but prefer open toe.

michaelspsp 06-15-2009 7:39 PM

i did something similar in ski boots many moons ago. my buddy worked in the shop. he said smaller and tighter was better.....
