I got a board with bindings n it says they fit up to 11.5 us... I managed to get my foot in wit water like it says but it took all my strength. Is it suppose to be like that? Do I loosen the screws on the side to adjust size? I'm new at this.

The spins are an older binding. If those are rubber inside then sometimes they are harder to get into. If they have a cloth like inside then they should slide easier.

You do not need to loosen the screws that hold the binding to the board. that will make them go on easier.

leave the screws alone..

It says not to use lube but you can always get binding slime or lava lube.

I had a pair of those years ago, I'd be winded by the time I got them on. Get the laces as loose as you can and dip them in the water before you put them on, that will help. Or get some lube like flix said. As they break in they'll get easier to get on. Don't mess with the screws.

Just another chime-in to use some kind of boot lube like flixmaster suggested. Older bindings (especially ones without laces) are notoriously difficult to get on sometimes, especially if they're not worn in yet.

use shaving cream as lube

its the best because it comes out of the boot immediately when you get in, therefore you wont slip around when riding
