Binding trouble

I use the LF Transit bindings, size medium. I wear a size 6 womens shoe. When I wear my bindings my right foot loses circulation. Only my right one, along the outer edge of my foot. I have tried to stretch 'em out and I wear them very loose. I really love the bindings, but am limited to the amount of time I can ride in them. Any similar experiences? Suggestions?

Sounds like you got two different size bindings. Have you pulled them off the board to see if they are the same size? Or is there a tag on the bindings that says what size they are? I would take them back to the shop you bought them at and exchange them for a different set, or see if they can fix the right binding to fit your foot better.

I just put a post up last night about the same thing with my Transits. Only the right foot, and I have stretched them in hot water for 3 straight nights. Can't seem to find a tag for the size. I ride without tightening the bottom laces at all.

Both bindings are mediums. Tags match. Done the hot water soaks. Let 'em dry with a Coke can in the footbed. Still tight.

Randy, what model are your bindings? Mine are 2006.

More than likely, one of your feet is bigger than the other....

This is true, but if it was a significant difference I would probably have trouble with all shoes, not just the bindings.

Amanda, mine are the '05 model Large regular. I shoved the barrel of one softball bat and the handle of another last night and let them sit all day. I try again tonight.

I found the source of the problem with my bindings. Today, I demoed a pair of CWB Factions (nice boots btw). My right foot still lost circulation in the same place. I have come to the conclusion that the problem lies with my stance, not my bindings. I am going to "duck out" my right foot a little and see if this will fix the issue. For the record, I ride goofy foot.

Glad to see that yours is the duck. Mine isn't. I've had them on in hot water in the tub for 4 nights now and the right foot doesn't go numb until 30 minutes. When I pull them off, I shove to aluminum softball bats in the end and tighten the laces.
