    Bindings for wide feet

    I am buying a new ski and would like some help. I have a super wide foot and I am looking for a comfortable binding. I currently am running double draft boots size large on a connelly f1. I have a size 9.5 super wide and flat foot. The back boot always is super tight on my foot and I have to get out of it after 4-5 passes. Any suggestions on a boot that is good for wide feet.

    I just demo'd a pair of Radar Vector's and they are tighter than the drafts so I am going to try a different set.

    I'd suggest some strada's. Probably look for a size 10, and you can heat mold the liner to fit. Very comfy.

      Thanks for the input. I demo'd the strata today and they were a bit easier on the foot but the right rear boot was loose in the heel. Any other suggestions? So far my draft's are hard to beat but I am going to try them all on this ski purchase.

        When you heat mold the liner it should take up most of the room. You can always go a size smaller also. I'm on a 10 for my rt foot and a 9 for my left. You might also try the D3 T factors, not sure how they are on width, but they are pretty comfy.

          Ok, I have demo'd:

          Radar Vector(tight but the feel though was AWESOME in this boot!) they might be worth the pain
          Radar Strada(somewhat tight, overall good boot, but my heel comes up)
          The HO alpha's- were the best comfy fit so far for wide feet and they kept my heel down real nice. A comfy boot at an inexpensive price although Performance Ski Shop said the quality was suspect on the HO boots? The feel of the Vector's was better though.


          I would like to run the HO Basis but they didn't have any to try. The Alpha was a better fit than my Draft's for wide feet. This weekend I am grabbing a pair of t-factors to try with a new D3 I've been riding.

          Thanks for the help. I am using the input here to carry on my search for the wide foot boot heaven I hope to find.

          I will update the post for future wide feet skiers....

            I bought the Radar Vectors(along with a Radar Senate 67") and they are AWESOME. Comfortable for a wide and flat foot. The ride is far better than my draft boots. I hope this helps others looking for bindings for wide feet.

              Sounds late for my input but. I bet you would of liked a Slingshot RAD boot my feet are a bit wide and they felt to wide for me at first. I heat molded them and took out the inner lace didn't like it and now I love these things! So easy to use and adjustable. Im a avid snowboarder so I like that kind of feel and hold and these are the ticket for me.
