I believe I took out the Nightranes at the Loveland Demo Days. The design of the Contraband is much improved. The raised tab really helps keep your foot locked in place. That was my biggest complaint with the first generation is that the front of your foot would slop around. It's definitely a freestyle binder, and I am a freeride guy, but it felt like a solid binder to me. Probably not a bad choice for you at all.

I think you'll probably want to get the XL's if available. I believe that is what I demo'd and I am a size 11 too.
