How is the new new ankle strap? I’m thinking of getting some DODs.
It will be branded as YESTER

100% they killed it with this Toe Strap Design - the only one that comes close is the Nitro Toe Strap with Vibram (for example on Team Pro Bindings).eleveneightnate wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2024 5:07 pm There isn't a better toestrap in the biz than the Rome one and I will die on this hill.
The only two Toestraps on the market where I NEVER had a movement on my boot, once you've locked it in, the stay in perfect position for the whole session.

That depends on the boots you are riding. Not every Boot fits into the Rome Bindings very well...Kevington wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2024 9:28 am100% agree. I’d go further and say Rome makes the best bindings overall.eleveneightnate wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2024 5:07 pm There isn't a better toestrap in the biz than the Rome one and I will die on this hill.
However, Rome's bindings are superb in built Quality and riding performance and they stepped up the game by a lot in the last 3 to 4 years.

Ah. With the built in slide adjuster that would matter for the adjuster. But if a B ratchet fit the mounting holes you could use the B ladder.eleveneightnate wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 9:24 amNot sure, but I do know that Rome's toe ladders are a lot narrower than most other brands.
Probably not going to try it anyhow. I'm pretty good with my strap set up at the moment

Softer than Imperial, on line with all the different descendants of Hail I guess.

Speaking of Imperials, mine are about shot but I loved them. What's the closest thing in the lineup now? Just get Ions and wait for them to break in? I assume the Photon is way softer than the Imperials were.

Imperial was a better boot than SLX and half the price, so really don't know. Just Driver X and Tourist left on that "platform", and Imperial was just in the middle. Could try a Photon I guess?
