Burton Cartel, chewed up boots...HELP! - Page 4 - Snowboarding Forum

BurtonBindings/Glaucon, i have noticed some gnarly wear on my Burton Ambush boots as well, from my Mission Restricted bindings (after about 8 days use). Checking the Burton site I see the driver X has similar design at the back - that backstay doesnt go all the way to the sole. The binding appears to be attacking the top of the heel strip bit where the backstay ends - i hope that isnt a structural part of the boot because the stitching on mine is about to be worn through...

oddly enough, my Rome Libertines (2013) have matching ridges on the back of the boot and they fit together perfectly with the Cartels. I havent noticed any wear or tear on my boots since switching to Cartels.
