I'm a size 10 US shoe and ride L unions. When I first got them however, even when adjusted, they where a bit tight and I was having probs getting out. The XL were to big.

To solve this problem I put them on and sat in a hot jacuzzi for about 45 mins (seriously). Then took then on/off about 5-6 times which stretched them a little and now are as good as gold.

Yeah l have size 9.5-10 feet as well and purchased a pair of unions off the classifieds going by the liquid force size chart. When l got them they were super tight, could barely get them on and off in the living room let alone while strapped to a kite. Might give the sauna idea a go

Like most bindings, if you can slip in and out easily without the aid of water or lubricant such as detergent (what most cable ski parks supply to their customers), they are probably too big for you and will probably come off pretty easy when you are in the water.

Buy from an authorised distributor then you can exchange for the right size.

Hmmm... I guess "slip in and out easily" is a matter of definition. I can "slip in and out" fairly easy (Don't have to struggle in the water or on land to get them on or off, just pull back the back and slide out) on my Unions (size L, I wear 41-42 EU shoe size) but I prefer that.. If things get really ****ed up it's nice to not have an anchor welded to your body, and if you crash lightly you can parry the impact and keep them on your feet. If you don't crash... well then there's no problem. Furthermore don't forget that you can actually make some major adjustments to the boots but moving the rubber straps a couple of notches back or forth to get a snug fit, but still be able to get in and out of the boot fairly easy. Just my 2 cents...

There's a movie with Dre riding Unions in russia. Look when he's getting in his boots. That's the way they are supposed to be. Let me just find the URL..

Yes, some people like it tight so they dont come off easily when they do tricks, some like it loose. Best get demos from shop so you can try up a size or down a size and see how they feel. we have all sizes in stock so should your local LF store.

should be nice snug fit, you can adjust the unions to fit. or can try the escalades they lace up.
