I got a pair of 2004 Liquid force Ultra Suction Bindings. They are XL and my feet are only size 11 but the left binding is fine and the right one cuts off circulation to my toes. I tried to loosen them up but there is no more room for it . Is there anything else I can do to them?

I would really appreciate your help!

Are they new?? If they are then they will loosen up with time. If they are real tight try attaching your boots to a flat plank of wood with some wood screws, then run a bath of hot water, as hot as your feet can handle. Then whack on your boots in that hot water and wiggle your feet till they are comfy. Then read a magazine or book or whatever, talk on the phone for 15, 20mins. The eva rubber loosens in hot water and what should happen is that they will mould to your foot shape to a degree. This will definitely help with comfort, I do it for any new bindings I have ever got, swear by it. Wink

XLs shouldnt be too small for you, I run Ls for size 11 feet, they are tight but thats how I like my bindings, XLs are too loose for me. All new bindings kane your feet for probably the first 10 runs, so make they shorter... once they are broken in you'll love em.

the hot tub method will work as Cameron says... Dont rip ur vinyl in the process though. Your wide feer should conform as the binding moulds around it... It shouldnt be to big of a prob

yah it should be fine, i ahve pretty much size 11's and i am useing large cwb vibes, so at first it was the same, also if you do try a bunch of stuff, and nothing works i would return them and go for lace ups instead, then you can losen them until the foam conforms to your foot.

I'm a big fan of the bathtub break-in. It really does help.
