Too big bindings for boots?

It honestly looks okay to me at least from the side view. Is there a lot of space between the boots and the binding laterally? To much space will cause the boots to rock too much.

What is your boot size and what is your binding size?

Feet: mondo 27.5 cm +/- 2-3mm depending on foot, quite wide.

Burton UK 8.5 is US 9.5 so the size medium binding will fit better. But honestly, you will probably be fine riding this and you can buy the correct size when you need a new binding. I am US 9 and I rode a large Burton Cartel for the first season and It was totally fine. If you have money to spend get a medium one, but the large size one can definitely get the job done.

Thanks! I worry that I may not sell both boots and bindings and they were only used for less than 10 days. So, I'll start with boots and if I sell them I'll buy smaller ones.

You'd be better with the next side down (medium) but will get away with this. Have a look at the Union binding finder in the support section of their website.


The boot looks centrally located on the footbed. You can slide the rear heel cup forward into the chassis frame which will push the toes a little bit forward on the gas pedal.

Not sure with the Strata, you maybe able to move toestrap mounting location back to the rear notch which will give you a better fit and the ability for a longer toe strap length . However now looking at chassis design on the Union site it appears with the Strata it has a single fixed mount position.

That's the plan but these bindings are almost new so don't want to let them go too cheap.

It's already (even for Vans uk9.5) full forward.

Never seen good luck with people that have to slam the heelcup forward in Unions. I'd rather put that boot in a M than a L.
