Looking for new bindings

I'm looking at getting new bindings. However I'm not sure if I should get open or closed toe bindings. Is there a benefit to either of these?

I've got a LF board so I'd probably stick to LF bindings. Right now I'm looking at the Sphinx (open toe) or the Watson (closed toe).

comocozi,
Have you considered the shane closed toe? I've ridden them and they are really comfy.
I'd also consider the transits.

I ride the 07 Shane Limiteds and I love them. Maybe you should demo a pair of those.

I ordered the shane CTs but they sent me some Watson CTs so i kept them instead. Great boots, super comfy, all my mates want to ride my board now cos they sh*t all over anything any of them have ridden before.

I would recommend these 1000%

Another vote for the Shane CTs. I love my '06 Limiteds and plan to replace them with some '08s at the end of the year. Cool

the sphynx are really soft bindings, they fit really well but there is very little supprt. there have been times when i land out in the flats leaning a bit too far forward and my knee almost touches the nose of the board (exagerated a bit) good for tweaking grabs tho

i feel with my closed toe boots, i have a lot more control because my toes can help me. when i ride open toe i can definately tell there is a little difference. boots also feel more confortable. I would go with some ronix boots because they heat mold them to your feet, so it feels amazing every time i put my feet in them. and you have an excuse for not letting others use ur board Very Happy

but im just a girl, what do i know... Wink
