Anybody Have the 07 CWB Faction Bindings?

The current bindings that I have on my board are too small and hurt my feet after riding for only 10-15 minutes.

So I have been looking for a new set bindings. I have a size 13 foot so trying to find XXLarge Bindings has been tough but I came across these. Does anyone know how they are? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. These are about $260 and thats an acceptable price for me at the moment. Thanks

theyre pretty decent for the price. not sure on sizing but the factions are loose. my brother has got a set and they are easy entry and exit aswell as comfortable. the only complaint i have ever had with them was how loose the ankle is with lack of support. they are also good because they relase if you fall hard enough.

I have a size 12 - 13 foot and I have the new factions. I went with the XL size since my foot is thin and I wanted a good firm fit. Even with the single XL its still a little bit roomy. Entry is super easy. unless you have a very wide and thick foot, id go with the XL as opposed to an XXL.

They are great bindings. They form to your feet pretty good, so there are no pressure points. Heel hold down is very good. Some people have had problems with the hinge poping open as they ride, but CWB has a part that will fix that. I have also heard that it also adds some stiffness and support, which takes care of what TP83 mentioned. I haven't had a problem with mine poping open, but I think I am going to try to get the part just to try it out.

Also CWB's sizing recommendations for articulated toe bindings are dead on for most people.

I'm a size 8 used the med ( 8-10) and thought they were a little tight.
They are good boots but like any boot you should try them out first or at least on.
