wakesetter1989, What are you looking to spend? Also, are you looking for new or used? Is there any reason you're staing away from a closed-toe boot?

I am looking at spending about 200-250. I like the feel of open toe better. And sometimes other riders use my board, so i like something that fits more than one foot size. Thanks for the replies.

In your price range, I reccomend Ronix Kai open toes. I havent used them myself, but I bought them for a friend and was very impressed by how they looked and they felt to be very good quality. He was happy and it made me buy my Ronix ones and I couldn't be happier.

If the size is right, these are cheaper and basically the same thing. These are the ones I got a friend.

Thanks for the help. Anyone tried the Hyperlite Focus or Remix? What about the CWB torqs?

Ive tried the CWB torqs, I liked them but theyre not a very stiff binding, its quite short above the ankle. I like my bindings quite stiff and responsive. Im a fan on the heel lock on CWB.

I need some advice on open toe bindings. I will probably buy O'Brien Access. I'm a size 10. Should I go for the size range 7-10 or 10-12? Do you know if these or similar bindings run small/big or wide/narrow? I have to order online, so I will not be able to try them. Thanks.

I love Hyperlite but I have the remix bindings and I would not recommend them. I have only used them probably 6 or 7 times and they are already getting slight tears in them. They also come loose a lot while riding.

I use the Ronix Kai's OT. Super happy with them. Very comfortable and supportive

In that range you are looking in I would suggest the Hyperlite Focus, Ronix Kai OT, and possibly the CWB Vapor.

- Focus is the highest end Hyperlite open toe boot, until the Team OT comes out for 2013 which looks sick Smile
- Ronix Kai OT is super comfortable and light
- CWB Vapor is stiffer than the Torq and has all velcro straps so it's easy to adjust
