Having never worn the Alphas, I'm gonna go with the Transits. I have a pair of the '06 Transits and they are pretty comfy. For what it's worth, I know LF considers them a better quality binding than the Alphas...

Transits are better. For the money, I'd get the Shanes. My friend Ryan at www.americanboatcenter.com will hook u up on a set of 06's = call and ask.

How much do the Shanes run?

Im checking out a pair of transits on ebay that have a few hours left before the auction ends but they are currently $100.

Obviously this will likely rise as the end of auction approaches but what price range are the shanes?

He can get those for around 180 if he still has leftovers. You can sometimes pick those up on ebay for that same price or a little better if you're lucky. I've ridden them for 2 years and they are by far the best bindings on the marked IMO. I rode the new Ronix Scouts and went back to my shanes.

So the closed boot doesnt bother you at all?

For some reason I feel like the open toe would just feel much better....

Im going to see what I can get these transits on ebay for and then see what happens.....

BTW i would need XXL as my foot is 14-15. DOes your buddy have that size in the Shanes?

What's the difference in bindings year to year? I have some 05 parks and I know they were one of the top bindings in 05, but are there really that many advancements between bindings yearly?

I know board's don't seem to evolve quickly, but I haven't ever heard anything about bindings.
