wow. I've seen the first gen in shops and was not interested, but this "more athletic" iteration just looks ass!

toe strap looks unnecessarily bulky, the toe slider adjuster looks so so clunky and basic, and honestly when he was showing off that new heel cup design, all i could see was a binding from the late 90's.

insane to think that there will be people paying $750aud for these....

 

You may be not factoring in the big 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Pro' recommendations from Glockhouse and Kevin into the equation???

 

well, there's certainly something to be said for Tiktok and Instagram influencers, "influencing".

i think the most legit, hardcore rider i've seen all season, was at my local Foodworks supermarket, in town.

this guy was so core, that he still had his Clew stirrups on, as he walked through the supermarket aisles.......

..... in a supermarket that is 45 minutes drive (for most visitors) from the parking lot at Falls.

i looked down at 'em because i couldn't quite believe the level of hard-coredness i was witnessing, and he actually looked smug as he walked past.

all i could think was "mate, you're meant to be in your Crocs by now!!!"

 

Ah yes Crocs, the Clews of the footwear world!

 

And neither should be worn outside of your house

 

to be candid, if Crocs had arch support and a Vibram / Michelin outsole, i'd 100% rock 'em.

 

if these were 60% off and didnt have canting/optional, i might try

 

I feel if they were 100% off I'd probably give them a 1 day tezr ride for review then hand them back.

 

🤔 Clew should start a line of outerwear to go with their little stirrups....assless snow chaps

 

Haha, reminds me of this movie, cant remember the name

 

I feel like a lot of this stuff came out on Flows like 10 years ago, the toe strap reminds me of a hybrid from the last generation. The ones before the good mesh ones, the ones that SUCKED that always had you leaned over to fix your toe strap.

 

Crocs are awesome for pond maintenance and clam digging.

 

Just don't wear them on escalators

 

.....I got bored 😅......patent pending

 

What do you call them? Crikeys?

 

I think FASE, Supermatics, and Flows have the bring your own boots fast entry game covered just fine. I really don't see what Clew brings to the table. The stirrup thing feels like an intermediate solution that's meant to be solved later but they're just rolling with it.

 

So it didn't take Buckhouse long as he describes to go "hammer time" with his big advertorial promo raving about the Clew 2.0 "Independent". I won't add the link in here but as expected he does heaps of park tricks with his final endorsement, "..., they are the best snowboard bindings I have ever ridden"???

 

I hated my original clews....got rid of them right away.
