They are defiantely comfortable and super easy to get into. The dont offer as much support as the Parks binding. But i have to say i have never put on a more comfortable boot than the alpha.

Haven't heard much on the Alpha's, I know last year some guys up in Disco had troubles with the foot beds or bottom pads (can't remember which) of course something new always has bugs..

I agree with Erik, everyone I've talked to says that the Parks=more support

yes, but is too much support a bad thing, i want support but i dont want my bindings to never let my foot out in a crash

Josh,

In my opinion the Alphas are alot like the Hyperlite Belmont binding except so much more comfortable. The new lining on the inside is great for easy entry but also holds you in good. Check your email. I just send you some info.

josh...

Ive tryed out many bindings and they are by far my favorite.... there the most comfortable bindings that have ever been on my feet... I love them

hey dudes,

I agree with Josh man. I mean ; is it also ok for like bigger feet ? my size is euro 45/46 , that's quite big, and i just need some good binding. Is the Alpha ok then, or should I go for the Ultra's ?

I wouldn't go for ultras, I just went from them to alphas, the ultras cramped my feet so bad and theres nothing you can do about it, alphas are sweet, easy to get into, give me plenty of support don't cramp my feet at all, and look sweet on my Gonzalez too!! Seriously get em!! Ultras suck..

(wes_can_riders)

alphas are dope after riding them for a couple times when you look at the foot bed its like compressed molded to my feet is sweet

They tight, not as tight as the Transits but they still damn good.

(wes_can_riders)

there only tight when u want them to be... if u like ultra style pull on the lace hard is u like it loose then ride loose

I just tried on the transits and the alphas, the transits are much more confortable, and alot more supportive, the alphas are still much more confortable than any other bindings that ive have gotten my feet in, the only prob in the transits only go up to XL, i need XXL
