I've just bought some of these. I'll see if I have time to write a
review when I use them, but first trip probably isn't till just after
Christmas.

Todd;
I took a look at Burton's site and it appears they do sell the
capstrap seperately. $39.95

Those toe straps were supposed to make it onto more of Burton's range this
year, but I've not seen them to know if that happened. My boot is pretty
snug already so I'm not sure the caps pull my foot back any further. I
guess it saves clamping them down though.


Dave, Yes, they did make it on more boots this year.

The system works. Odd thing is, they hold my toes down and my foot back,
but I feel no pressure anywhere. I used to like my toe strap pretty tight
on traditional straps which could reduce circulation and make my toes numb.

The toe-cap a lot of times doesn't even feel tight, but son of a bitch, the
the thing works.

Burton should just sell the toe cap straps seperately for a fair price and
let anyone easily customize their setup.

Kind of like they do with the Team Skyback highbacks...but those things
are $50, that's almost half the cost of a binding!

I figured they would, glad somebody found it for us :-) I already
remember 1 guy who was selling an "extra" pair he had so it figures.
