So I wear a size 9.5 boot, when I was picking up my rome bindings I decided to go for the S/M size binding as it would be smaller and lighter. So I got the bindings on my board and everything is solid minus my toe strap not being long enough to strap in. Is there anyway to extend the length of the toe strap on these bindings?
I haven't messed with the toe strap at all, not sure how to extend the toe strap on these bad boys.. I tried to pull the buckle on the actual toe strap (not too hard) and it wouldn't budge, kind of scared of breaking them and not sure if they where meant to be unbuckled :dunno:
you can shoot out an email to rome on their site and they'll let you know... Just wondering why you'd want to use L/XL with size 8 boots? I wear 9.5 boots and got M/L bindings
Also be aware that there are two position that the toe strap can inner ladder can be in. Annoyingly mine keep ending up in the shorter one which is a pain to adjust every time I strap in.
Also I'm finding I have to crank the straps to the point where they start to deform the boot to get them to stay put. I've had them slip off to the top a few times. I've been careful to get a got left to right position and also place them so there is good tension across the toe and both edges are in tension. From what I understood the toe cap on these is considered good.
I have a size 8.5-9.0 foot and actually am wearing size 8 thirty two boots with the size L/XL 390 and targa. No problems at all. I went with the L/XL because the S/M were not available and I loan my boards to friends and relatives so the L/XL is ultra universal! The weight difference is actually less than 1/2 OZ so you will never notice a difference.
+1, I have 32 Focus Boas in a size 8 that I use with l/xl 390's and it works fine. I also have size 9 soloman Dialogue wides that wouldn't work with the S/M 390's so it will probably depend on the particular boot

another thing you can do to get extra room out of the toe strap is to loosen the screws for the toe ramp then take out the screws near the heel hoop and slide the whole thing back.
i have size 9 boots and even with the toe strap at the end of the ladder it was still too short, moving the heel hoop back made the bindings fit perfect for me.
It seems like the 390's run a bit on the small side so it could work, can barely fit my size 12's in the L/XL 390 bosses.
