"Sizing is NOT for all boots!"
Pros: Cute Design, Good material/Sturdy,
Cons: Too Small, Too narrow, Isn't versatile with different boots
I bought these bindings a few years back and the first thing I noticed was it was way too small. I'm 5 feet and I wear a women's size 6.5/7. I bought the burtons moto boots with it but it did not fit. As I see some other people have mentioned that burtons boots do not fit, I would suggest looking into other bindings if you own burton boots, or buy boots accordingly if you choose these bindings. However, you could go a size up with the bindings and get any small size boot to fit but I honestly cannot say if the narrowness will also change. For me, I had pain after 3 hours of riding because of how tight the binding was on both top and bottom straps. I even changed the positioning so there was maximum strap room to buckle down, but no avail, still too tight. I'm surprised however with all the extra force on the binding strap that it still remained intact; I was so worried it would pop off but pretty good for a whole season until I couldn't stand the pain.

"Not My Favorite"
Pros: The get me down the moutain, They were inexpensive,
Cons: Too narrow for my boots, Cheap straps,
These bindings work, but are a huge pain. I did a bunch of adjusting to the bindings and I still can't get them to work the way I would like them to. I have Burton boots which do not fit in the Ride Bindings. I have to jam them in and when I get to the bottom I have a hard time getting out. The straps are cheap. They constantly get stuck and are all chipped up. I would not buy these bindings again.

"My least favorite snowboard gear"
Pros: Gets the job done,
Cons: Buckles tend to get stuck easily,
Although these bindings match my board impeccably and get the job done, it is a hassle when the buckles get stuck numerous times throughout the day. I would probably not purchase these bindings again.

"You Get What you Pay For"
Pros: Sturdy Base, Easy to Use,
Cons:
The old adage you get what you pay for holds true with these bindings. For a low price point, you can't expect the supreme quality and comfort that a top tier binding would give you, but for a beginner to intermediate, these bindings will do the job. The toe strap can both go over the toe or over the foot, which is kind of nice. However, if you don't totally secure it, it can fall off the toe in the middle of a ride.
I don't think it's fair to give bindings a bad review only because they don't fit your boot (especially if they are different brands). Different companies have different sizes so inherently there is a risk when ordering online without trying to fit them in person.
I have to admit that even though they have a metal baseplate, I question the overall sturdiness in high performance situations. Like I said, strictly for beginner's.

"TERRIBLE"
Pros: NOnE!,
Cons: Narrow, Wrong size,
I purchase these a while back, and supposedly they were suppose to fit a size 5 boot with a small. The darn thing was so narrow it didn't even fit the boot I had to return it and pay for return shipping not recommended for anyone. It looks flimsy too.

"Cute Design, but Doesn't fit Burton Boots"
Pros: Cute Design. Colors matched perfectly w/ my board,
Cons: I have Burton boots Size 7 and they didn't fit , into these bindings. =( They were too wide., Read the specs and fine print!
Decent bindings if you do NOT own Burton boots. I think they'll fit other brands...

"okay...i guess"
Pros: cute, comfortable,
Cons: too narrow for boots, cheap straps,
These bindings are too narrow for by boots and make it really hard to get in and out of them. Also the first time I took them out the straps chipped in 2 places. The bindings are comfortable though and maybe they would work if your boots are really narrow.
