LF Binding Sizing

I've already tried the search option, so no hounding me for not trying that first.

I'm looking at purchasing the '05 Alphas or '05 Sphynx and I would like to know if a size Large would fit my size 11-11.5 foot? Thanks in advance.

eklipse, they might be a bit snug...I wear a 9.5 shoe, and I wear size medium Hyperlite bindings. I tried on the medium LF's and couldn't even get my foot in. I put on the larges and they were even a bit snug. You might wanna try the XLs. But try them on before you buy...

I have the 05 alphas in large. They are a bit snug in the toe area and I wear a 10.5 wide. I would go with the XL.

Last season I tried a pair of L Hyperlite bindings on and they fit but they were uncomfortably tight. I have the XL Spins now and they are plenty big, so I think i'm kind of at an akward in between size. Unfortunatley I can't try any on, because no shops in my area retail LF. My only option in the internet! I'll try and find a shop that sells LF gear or an older pair of LF bindings somewhere before I put out before the season starts.

eklipse, Keep in mind the Spins are made to be a more 'one size fits all binding.' Good luck.

I wear EXOs and have larges, with a 9.5 shoe size. If you buy from a good online shop they should let you return em if you have just tried them on and not ridden in em or anything, just ask before buying.

Yeah I saw that chart on wakeside, later on. I know when Shane Bonifay was designing the Sphynx boot he wanted a much looser feel still with support for poking his grabs out that much more. Can anyone verify that the Sphynx binding might fit a little bit looser than the average LF binding?

IMO, it doesn't matter what binding you are buying or where you are buying from, go somewhere that they are selling it and try it on. That's the only reliable way to know how it fits and feels.
