I am in the market for a new set of bindings..All summer I rode CWB fuse bindings. I liked them but the crushed the sides of me feet. I was wondering a wuility binding that isn't going to crush me feet. I prefer open toe but I am willing to try closed toe's aswell. Thanks

Regardless of what binding people will tell you to buy, your best bet will be to try on as many different pairs of bindings possible. And if that isn't a possibility, I think one of the mail order websites offers some kind of performance guarantee, so if you order a pair of bindings and try them on and they don't fit well, you can exchange them. Anyone know which site has this?

Scott is right on! You must find what works for you. I like open-toe and a snug (turning my feet blue after 15 minutes) not tight fit, so when they break-in they will still fit and support the foot. Try on several brands and styles; note that the most expensive is not always the best. Support your local shop if possible, it will save you a lot of time/hassle while finding out what works for you.
