Ok so my buddy is missing his leg from below the knee down. So getting into and out of bindings is a PITA.
He has been using my LF elements kinda old but with the laces he can really lossen them up alot and then sinch down, but still needs a little more. Could just be an overall size problem too. I think they are mediums and he might need larges because the binding is still tight on his real foot. Another thing he could really use is more rotational options.
So I'm just looking for suggestions on different bindings to look at.
Thanks alot
Ryan

The CWB line of hinge bindings might be alot easier to get into.

agreed look at some cwb hinge bindings. what does the "foot" on the artificial limb look like? you might look into getting two different size boots if needed. if so id contact cwb directly explain your situation and i bet theyd sell ya a mix matched set. hell they would probly send them to the guy.

Thanks for the replys.
We went and looked at a CWB hinge and those did work real well, but suprisingly the LF Alphas were even easier! And he said they fit better, felt better and seemed to have more support! What more can you ask for.
He got into them dry in about 8 sec! lol! thats faster than I can get into mine, and my ankle works! hahaha!
So if anybody else needs some advice the Alphas work great!
BTW the foot is basically on the end of a titanium shaft with a layed carbon fiber foot bed with a slip on prostetic looking foot, that has been cut on a band saw so his hockey skate would fit! hahaha!!!
