Last week I decided to buy some 05 LF alphas and would like to share my experience with the LF product. I am NOT bashing them, I love the fit and ride, but had problems finding a pair that was not defective!!!!!!! The dealer had just got their shipment of 05 alphas in the day I went, so I had aprox 15 pair to look at. All brand new still on the pallet. I tried on the right boot first and it was a killer fit, then even before putting on the left, we noticed that the toe opening part, (you know, that part of the binding the toes poke out of ) was HUGE!!! You could literally put youur whole fist in there with no probs. The right foot ones were big enough to slip your toes thru with a little wiggle room. HUGE diff. We laughed at the "tunnel" design and got another pair. Same thing, Then we just grabbed the left ones out of the whole shipment and started looking. Well, out of the 15 or so pair they got, only 2 pair had a normal size toe area on the left bindings.!!!!! Also, we found 2-3 pair of complete sets that had stitching flaws. When they were stitched, the thread did not catch the nylon sections and the nylon was falling off the binding. I went over the pair I put together with a fine tooth comb, stretching, pulling, bending and squishing making sure that there were no hidden problems. So if you are out buying bindings, expecialy LF, make sure you check them inside and out for any flaws. The dealer pretty much sending back his whole shipment to LF to have them replaced with non-defective product. LF have better quality control and check product closer before it leaves their door.
