yes ... this is why you should have a loaner setup and a setup that is yours Smile

. No way to get them back short of getting a new pair.

the wire didn't break b/c they will get tight, they're kinda shitty bindings brand new anyways.

Lewis215, the problem is that not every persons foot is alike. Sure, I have buddies who wear the same size shoe as me, but in no way is my foot the same as theirs. Do you have the underlay rubber holding that binding material to the base? I am not at all familiar with HL products, but you could simply just unscrew all the base mounts, and pull them down tighter, then screw the binding back together.

Short from just dealing with it, I have no other fixable opinion. What you could always do though, is tell your buddies that they all just purchased a pair of bindings. Honestly, you should have a whore setup onboard anyways... Just sucks that you did it as soon as you did.

Boots tend to break in over time anyway. You'll find that after a few weeks of riding they will tighten down more. Having other people use them doesn't help though. There should be plenty of adjustments on them to get them tight again.
