I tested the cheepest ones and I am still using them

They do the job and I have found them comfy

Only time I have had any problem is once I overtightened them and my feet went to sleep  :Claugh:

Other people tested the others and they all seemed to like them

I think there was a similar post to this recently where all the testers answered so have a search and you should find it

yeah there is a thread (Pro-Jump PowerBocking Jumping Stilts Forum - Community for Power bocking / Pro Jumping! > PRO-JUMP ANNOUNCEMENTS > Pro-Jump.co.uk News > New Bindings Coming Soon...)

BUT it still does not say what's the difference between eg urs Jason which u like and the most expensive one - which another guy likes - both just state comfy  :Cconfused:

Bindings are a very personal thing and what one person loves another will find to be horrid

The reasons I liked the ones I tested were

They didn't rub anywhere
They didn't need to be too tight to feel secure
They fitted every shoe for small to xxxl easily with the minimum of adjustment

now we r talking details  :Cwink: :Cbiggrin: :Claugh:

that is exactly what i am looking for (not slipping anymore, fitting all shoes - have small shoes sometimes - and my feet sometimes fell asleep cos i had to strap me into it to prevent sliding too much) - but like u said - everyone is different - but there is no way to try them before :S


but that sounds quite nice for the cheap ones - but isn't there a bit of metal in the smaller binding (front one) which might rub on the inside??? or was that just in the pic???

btw - it is the bushings exactly in the middle underneath the footplate - i just got them back today and saw that it actually is ripped to pieces there   :Ctwitcy: i hope I can get some replacement ones and that it is not worn out too much already  :Cnah:

cu and thx for all ur help - maybe we meet someday and i will pay u a drink - non alc of course as i assume we will be bocking  :Cbiggrin:
