I rode open for while, a few different pairs of bindings from the Hyperlite High Backs, to the 3DS, 06 and 07 and finally the 07 Shanes, and i've got say I, personally, feel more locked in on those closed toes, not just to the board but overall. As far as the "WAY BETTER EDGING", i think that may be an exaggeration, but with my feet locked down to that board, i do feel more responsive. You could definitely take the Open toe vs. Closed toe look at it, but when it comes down to it, closed toe has everything open toe does, and more. Unless there is something totally crazy that comes out, i dont see myself getting out of closed toe boots. I love em!
