I currently have DC Mora boots in size 8 and had them fit to Burton bindings at the store in Denver. Since the boots were quite wide, they sized up to a large women’s binding. I’ve found that I have a hard time getting my shoe out — the stitching on the heel gets stuck in the heel cup and I have to sort of yank it out because it’s seemingly narrow.

In trying to take advantage of some of the end of season sales, I bought Union Juliet bindings in both medium and large since reviews were mixed on whether they ran wider and the medium would be right or if I also needed the large. To complicate things more, my equipment is stored in Denver with my brother so I can’t test them out myself.

On a video call I saw the medium has some friction when the shoe goes in and out. And if lifted up without straps the binding stays stuck to the shoe. The front strap will have to be adjusted to the last slot to reach around the toe (which is why it’s over the top instead). But I also know a lot of people prefer to err on the side of smaller than larger. On the other hand, it seems like I could center up the blue by bringing the heel cup in and be in the middle range of the strap adjustments instead of at the top of the range. The boots slides easily out of the large.

Size wise, the medium base ends up with around 1/2 in on each side of the board and the large is closer to 1/4 to 1/8. What would you choose?
