My mate used to swear by silicone spray (WD40 or similar), he'd just spray it on his fingers and rub it around the toe section (we had open toed liquid force boots at the time) as the toes were really tight. It did make it a bit easier to get in but before that we never used anything and found it ok. As long as you can get them on without exhausting yourself they should be sweet
I personally have never done anything to a brand new board, just ride it as is and away you go.

Do people still use binding lube? Do any modern bindings still require lube? I'm not sure.

You definitely won't need lube with the Answers though. The hinge makes them easy to get into (and out of) .

I have never needed lube for any of my bindings. Just dip them and slip into them.
