Binding Tongue movement
So I have been having this problem for awhile now and it doesn't help me whilst riding. Every single pair of bindings I use the tongue always slips one way or the other leaving me with a very loose feeling. Is there anyway I can fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

some people i see don't realize the tongue goes inside the cuff... this may or may not be your situation.
...anyway, a new style and or brand or boot might be in order. one way to solve this problem in definitely would be to switch to a style of boot that has a wrap style cuff like the "contact liner" in the liquidforce vantage open toe and closed toe boots. boots that have the intuition liners i feel have a good fit. ronix and slingshot have these. ronix has some of the beefiest tongues i have yet to see. try a few different boots on in a store. what boots have you had problems with besides the liquid force 2012 limited Watson bindings mentioned in your profile??? stay tuned for more suggestions |

hmmm... suggestion for ronix might be out then...
Slingshot boots(Rad and Shredtown) have the intuition liners inside a shell of stiffer material. The shell tongue i bet would not move around on you much, but the liner tongue i am not so sure would not slide to the side independently of the shell. This sounds like a problem that even an in-store trial might not be able to reproduce sufficient test results? without being able to demo some bindings, i suppose my suggestion for the LF vantage boots stands as the best solution i think. ***Also the 2012 LF Soven bindings and older had the wrap style "contact liner" if you don't like the Vantage style boots |
I have the System Process boots.
When the tongue is inside the cuff (as I think they are ment to be) I find the boots fairly uncomfortable When the tongue is outside the cuff, I could wear them all day...they feel great. Love the setup overall, im still not sure on the boot choice |
well... shoot. maybe putting the tongue on the outside might help (incorrect or not)... it's worth a shot.
