On another note for viewers after using and reviewing them for six seasons. My suggestion would be. Use them the way the come out of the box and get used to them. Then u can tweak them as needed. Levers and high backs. U will be surprised at how responsive they are in stock set up. If u switch the lever be careful on lifts your free foot doesn’t accidentally release it.

UPDATE: I've changed the lever to the inside. Yes it does make it more convenient. HOWEVER, when you have one foot in your binding, your free foot can hit the lever when you are skating. I'm not sure how durable that lever is when taking hits from your boot.

Six seasons with three sets. Switched them back to the outside as it’s more comfy for me and the way my body leans to reach the levers quicker and more comfy. Also with them switched u gotta be super careful on the lifts so your free foot doesn’t accidentally release the locked in boot. Also the high back really doesn’t make a huge difference in feel if it’s leaning forward. With boots locked in proper, the boot and binding become one solid thing so any movement at all moves the board with instant response. To soften that response it’s more about the boot and how tight in your foot it is.

I posted this elsewhere already… But I first saw the MOD here… so… Wow!!! GREAT Idea! I’m fortunate to ride deep powder stashes - in the trees often. The SINGLE complaint/problem I’ve ever had after riding Stepons for a few years now… is the ability to quickly release when you go down, and are stuck in deep powder. Having to reach to the outside to release, has proven to be extremely difficult at times - buried under deep snow. This would be a MASSIVE Safety enhancement to say the least! Thanks!

It's a good idea to run the footbed out a half a size if you run that much forward lean. That's probably why you were feeling the slop in the other video.

Setting up with that much forward lean can make it harder to get that second "click" when stepping on, which results in heel lift. The solution is to move the footbed forward an additional notch. I tried moving the levers to the inside and found it harder than on the outside. Your arms are on the outside, so normally they just need to go down to reach the lever. With the lever on the inside they need to go down, across your leg, and inward.

@@micofok730 No. Mens Size 8 will only work with mens small binding.

That does mean that you won't be able to move the footbed forward with sizes 8, 10.5 and 12.5. I'd just back off the forward lean until it doesn't cause this problem. Also, going to a stiffer boot can give you heel-side response with less forward lean.

Back from a first trip on these (mixed emotions) and they are very convenient but I took a few flat "out of nowhere" edge catches of the sort I haven't had in like 15-20 years. Was getting pretty frustrated at the amount of movement going on but I do think on reflection I wasn't double clicked in the heel sometimes. Realised after a day or so I hadn't adjusted the forward lean and didn't have a suitable screwdriver with me to set that, exactly like you describe. My old bindings are set F4 so I'm hoping bringing that forward helps stabilise the setup. Kind of wish I'd got some of the boots which have an akle boa aswell.

The problem I had with the step on bindings was heel lift inside the boot. The first day or two they worked great, and then the boots packed out, and the became a bit too big. If your boots don’t fit exactly right there’s no way to ratchet your ankle back down, where as with strap bindings you can get away with a boot that is a bit too big or packed out. With step on bindings if your boots don’t fit exactly right, it will ruin your day. But if they do fit well step on bindings are actually pretty great.
