Cushiest Bindings?

(gunz) · (gunz) **Join Date: Sep 2001** 08-01-2011, 3:27 PM

Need some help finding real cushy bindings.Just got back into wakeboarding and am noticing that my feet are killing me in a matter of minutes.

Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

RONIX ones, or Cells, or CWB Answers are all super "cushy"

^^^ agreed! Ronix ones are awesome and after heat molding are like slippers!

I have the RONIX ONE bindings and they are very cushy, but they have zero arch support which is why next year I am going to try the HYPERLITE Marek or Murray boots.

A little old but I thought the slingshot d2's were really comfy. From the thick sole to the green footbed thing and the liners, there was quite a bit of cushioning. Also the 2011 sovens I think are really comfy.

Hyperlite teams are the cushiest I have ever put on. The ronix ones are a close second.

After Kristy Heer was helping my friend Christy at a boat and sportsman show years ago... I will always think of high end LF boots as being "Marshmellow's on my feet"

^^Thats the feel I need,marshmellows on my feet.
If I could just wear my Red Wing boots and ride I think I'd ride more.

I'd stay away from CWB, they are super responsive and supportive, pretty much the opposite of a super cushioned binding. I disagree with some of the listers regarding the Ronix line, I've found those to be very supportive. The liquid force line seems to be the sloppiest/softest/most cushioned bindings I've riden.

I'm on some 2010 LF Watson bindings and they are super comfy.

Do the insoles on your Watsons always come up after you ride? They always fold up under my feet and feel weird.

i buy my boots a little big and then wear neoprene socks to fill the gap. I make my own extra cush this way and it is awesome.

Yeah, one of my in souls will bunch up when I pull my foot out, but I just push it back down and it's fine.

What's funny is, I had the 2009 Shane bindings and that never happened because the souls could come out completely, but the 2010's have them glued down which seems to be the issue.

Sometimes mine will fold up if i take a hard fall and my foot shifts at all. It is not a huge deal but it is a little annoying! I was hoping you guys would have a fix for me!! haha

The 2011 footbeds don't bunch up. After straying from the old LF Team's from years ago, I finally went back to liquid force and I was reminded why their bindings are some of the most comfortable. Slingshot, CWB, and Hyperlite all pained me in my time off. the '11 watsons are damn near perfect for me.
