| I had 2011 Forces and got on really well with them, quite liked the toe strap actually and cant remember once complaining about them. |

Size 11 Burton rulers
Would that be a L or XL binding? |

| This years toe straps have changed. Last seasons were bad and didn't really sit over some boots properly. Mine slipped of a number of times, but the new ones are more like a Burton where they cup your toes, rather than having that little strap piece. |

| XL I'd suggest. I have 2011 Contacts and use the toe strap over the top of the boot rather than a capstrap, which works fine. The 2012 cored strap is meant to be an improvement. |

XL
The toe strap changed for this season, its a million times better. My old forces would slip the toe strap up, they have fixed that problem with the new toe straps. |

Partial threadjack -
Are toe straps interchangeable? I hate my Cartel capstraps and would love some of the Ride mesh ones or any of that type.
Have not really looked into it because with it being Burton, i know it will be Burton only. Doh. |

| I don't think so. I'm pretty sure the sizes for the connectors on the straps wouldn't fit. I know with Union you can change the parts really easilly with other Union Bindings, but don't think you could change Union for Burton, for example. |

Can anyone confirm if I can replace the crappy toe strap on my 2010/11 Union force with the new toe strap from the 2011/12 Union Force?
It would save me buying new bindings |

| Certainly many of the tool free Burton bindings use slots/lugs for their straps, so you can't bolt them on to another binding... unless you drilled a hole through them. |

I'm pretty sure you can interchange them between years, give theriderslounge (uk distributor) a shout and they will confirm either way! |
