Problems With Flow Bindings & Minon ThirtyTwo Boots
My girlfriend has some ThirtyTwo Minon boots and is looking to get
some Flow bindings, but we've both heard that people have had problems with ThirtyTwo boots and Flow bindings. Does anyone else have any experience with these boots and bindings? |

Does anyone else have any experience with these boots and bindings? I have experience with both, but not with both together. 32 boots are the best ones I've tried, especially when you mold the liners to your feet. Flow bindings.. I was not able to make them lock the heel on any boot I had at the time. Had at least half an inch heel lift just from the binding itself. But I think I was trying this on a pretty old pair of Flows - maybe they improved since then. |

I have Vans Jamie lyn 2002 and a 2003 flow binding and I woldn't recomand
going with anything but a flow boot. I love my boots and I love my bindings, but- the boot got stuck in the binding and cut the heel of the boot, and worst then that, on big jumps,when the landing was not perfect and I was putting a lot of prssure on the board to correct it,I would get heel lift and twice I had the wole boot come out of the binding!!!!

Hey Arvin; I just got a new board (Atomic Alibi 159)and a set of Flow
bindings. I have a pair of Northwave ( 3 year old Kevin Jones ,size 12 ) boots and they seem to fit fine. What problem were you referring to. Later Richard |

Yes! That's exactly what happened to my friend. He kept getting stuck in the FLOW bindings and couldn't get out because the highback cut into the heel of the boot (Vans Contras). |

What problem were you referring to. Later Richard It wasn't my setup, just a friend of friends that came with us to Whistler. She seems to have a LOT of trouble getting into her bindings and I noticed that the Northwave model she had (white/grey outers) had kind of an outjutting heel that was getting chewed up by the highback. Of course it later turned out that she reconstructed her bindings in correctly as well (put the asymmetrical cuffs on the wrong bindings). So that was the main problem... but I noticed that my other friend who has FLOWS and Van Contras with the Boa System also had a really chewed up heel and all sorts of fit issues... of course the little Boa knob on the boot tongue that you use to tighten the boots in lieu of laces broken off because it kept getting banged against or squashed by the front cuff - broke off after 2 weeks of use... leading him to resort to duct taping his boots to tighten them. I think the problem with the boots is the shape... here is my terrible ASCII diagram (Northwave) |||| ||||__ // ) ||______| Compared to other boots |||| ||||__ || ) ||_____| |
