As boot construction became smaller and lighter, companies decided to go to a smaller 6" hole pattern. Some companies changed from 8" to 7" some changed from 8" to 6", and some did it in different years, so its not a very clean and easy thing to figure out. For the most part it only effects riders who want to ride all the way out. Generally speaking, any 07 and older boot will fit with any 07 and older board and pretty much any 09 board will fit with any 09 boot I think. May be a good thing to cover in an article or in the buyers guide somewhere. I'm guessing we'll see less and less confusion after this transition is a couple years behind us.
