Should I Exchange for Bigger Boots?

Ok,

Just bought 07 Zeus off Buywake.com...I ordered the LE, and they sent me the regular, so I am already a bit pissed. So my feet are pretty much 13's, and I wore XL Hyperlite Murrays before, so I went ahead and ordered the (12-13) "XL" Zeus. I can't decide if they are too small or not. They fit tight, and feel pretty good, I just don't want my feet falling asleep.

According to the buywake site, I can only return if they are unused. So, I tried them on in the tub. I have attached a picture. From those of you who ride them, should my toes stick out this far? My right foot is also significantly longer than my left, so I shot the right.

Garrett, first off, I understand your frustration getting the incorrect bindings. However, the guys at Buywake/Ambush are great and will take care of you ASAP, just give them a call. As for the binding size, if they feel pretty good now, just wait till you break them in a bit. I was actually at Ambush this morning and purchased a pair of the LE Factions. I had tried on the displays in the store which felt like a glove, but when they brought the ones out of the back that had never been worn before, I noticed that they were a bit tighter. You can either ride them to break them in or stick something down in the binding to loosen them up. The toe looks fine BTW.

They will break in a little. You can try to loosen the hinge also.

Hmmm...I tried them on once or twice in the tub, and some of the rubber on the ankle support is already flaking off. These are going right back to buywake on monday.

My factions are almost getting to loose, ( i have rode them since them came out last summer)

How was the murrarys btw? Thats what i might get...

apparently, they don't stay together well, because the rubber is coming off the back pad, and they haven't even been on the water yet. This is really frustrating now.

I think the root of the rubber problem is that you have grotesquely hairy legs. I mean, really dude, you cant blame everything on CWB you just need a razor, that will fix this problem right up.
