| There's a guy I ride with sometimes that had his foot go through the toe's on 2 pairs of them. Not his entire foot but his toes broke through the end. Brother in law has them and quite likes them. |

It's basically a ratcheting system... push the button in and turn clockwise... they'll tighten as much as you want without backing out (like some laces). Then pull the button out when you're done, and they go free and you can pop right out.
I have the BOA on my Temets & I LOVE it!:

| That sounds pretty nice. Do ya'll ever have a problem with the BOA slipping or anything that would make them loosen up? |

Seriously? So if a friend of yours who you wakeboard with and actually works for the pro-shop that sells the bindings tells you PERSONALLY that he blew through 2 pairs of Murray's last year PERSONALLY, then that's "chalking one up for no firsthand experience?"
How bout chalking one up for another complete "tool" on wakeboard forum? Murray doesn't even ride HIS OWN closed toe bindings. That tells me enough about the bindings right there. And your ignorance tells me enough about you to realize you're a tool. |

No Way... I've never had them loosen. Like I said, it's kind of a ratchet, so when you tighten it won't loosen unless you pop the button out ...which is impossible to do while riding unless you physically lean over and pull it. It's really one of the best systems I've ever seen/used.

My 2 big complaints with the ct murrays are that they have no support going forward at all, and the plastic plate that the boa knob is fixed too digs into my shin. other that that, though, they have a very comfy lower section and footbed

If it were me, 3ds- cause I like more support. The murray is much more mobile, which works for some people, but I like to ride loose boards and with very mobile bindings I feel out of control, so I'd ride the 3DS over the murrays. They are also more comfy in my opinion, due to the lack of the boa knob on the front
