it's sad, really. every time i talk about union bindings at shops, the rep inevitably shakes his head. some of the best bindings with the shittiest toe straps is essentially what they say. switching them out to the burton toe caps made a huge difference. i'm curious how much of an improvement they managed in 2012 though. most people i spoke with said it's a minor improvement but it largely will depend on whether or not it can confirm to your boot. maybe if i call their customer service and try to goad them in sending me a pair of straps
