Reliks or Cells

So i found a really good deal on an 08 Covin so i wanted the Cells to go with them, but the place im getting them at doesnt have my size. So i was thinking i would just get the Reliks for cheap instead of buying the cells somewhere else for more money.

Just wondering what you guys think i should do.

Thanks

What size do you need? I have a pair of 10 Cells Ill sell you for 175 + shipping. Brand new 08's, never been used.

Relik's sit really low on the leg and doesn't provide as much ankle support as the Cell's, so if you don't mind having that then the Relik's would be alright for you. I've heard nothing but good things on the Cell's so if you can wait for them to be shipped to you, I would go that route.

Cells = higher support and stiffer

Reliks = lower support and softer

Depends what you like. The One's are right in the middle.

the kai's = similar flex to relik, just a higher fitting boot

I wanted to know if there was a really big difference between the ones and the cells .
I am thinking of buying the new ronix viva and i need also some new bindings. I actually ride the '07 open-toe Watsons and I love them...
Wich binding would compare the most...

Thx...

WillWakeUp, ones are about as stiff as 07 watsons. 09 watsons are a little stiffer, more like the cell, but cut higher.

Well thanks guys. Ive ridden with the reliks, and i liked them enough, so i think im gonna go with those.

LakeIolaLuke, thanks but i need 11s. but this is gonna be my first pair of closed toe bindings, so if the 1 size smaller doesnt make a difference, i could go for that.

How do most closed toe bindings fit? Should i get my exact shoe size or a little smaller? or bigger?

kent2010, cells run big. I wear an 11.5 shoe, and the 10's fit me perfectly. Im not just lying to sell them, ask around. Some fit right on, some fit a little big. I've never tried on a closed toe boot where I've needed to go up a size. You definitely don't want to go big with closed toe boots, If the boot has empty space in front of your toes, your foot can slide forward on hard landings and you jam your toes. I've never injured myself in closed toes, but it can be painful, especially if you do it two or three times in one set. Where are you getting them? I'll match anyone's price. I might even be able to sell you them through my shop, so you'll get a warranty with them
