Binding coming loose

I have a pair of HO Orbit bindings with front lacing and no matter how tight i make the right foot boot, It always comes loose. I have no problem with the left boot and there is no damage to the boot at all. Any tips to keep it tight? I have a pic of my boots as an attachment.

elmerfudd, the tightening system for you laces has a small peice inside that has teeth on it to pin the lace in tight so thatythey do not come off. It may be that this peice is worn down and thus the slipping. A replacement (if that were the case) would fix your problem right away.

Take the plastic piece off that's causing all your problems on that bindings, then just tie your laces up like a shoe.

i know they suck but i've only started riding not too long ago and thoes bindings arn't even 2 months old. Are these bidings that bad? I can do w2w jumps and some w2w grabs and some surface tricks and I almost got the w2w 180 down. Would you say its time to upgrade my bindings or use what i have until i get more advanced. Remember i'm not rich.

Use what you've got for now, but once you start getting more aggressive you might wanna look into some better ones with thicker footbeds and more ankle support...
