I'm just starting out and wondering if there is anyone out there that has ever had a problem with their board bindings not fitting "snuggly". Perhaps they are not meant to fit "snuggly"?? Soon as I build up some speed I feel like me feet are going to wobble free. I have little feet and high arches (actually, quite danty for a man...) which means there isn't much binding covering them and holding them down...

Anyone offer a solution, besides getting a new pair of longer flatter feet? Do bindings (I think that's what they are called) come in different sizes, or shapes?

Are you riding bindings or footstraps?

It's a 05 Liquid Truth board. It has a foot bed with a padded velcro strap running over top of it. I noticed liquid force sells something similar with a heal strap. That would do the trick, but perhaps cumbersome once in the water (and what about quick release in the event of a crash)?

go to kmart and buy a tyre tube
cut it to size (make sure it is quite tight cos they stretch) then fold it over and put your footstrapscrew thru it.
then just slip it over your heel and you will get heaps more control of the board
dont worry bout getting stuck in them cos if yu get yanked you come strait out of them, at least i have never had any problems.
alternatively you can buy a new footbed system, the new liquid force comes with the heelsttrap made of a soft rubber type stuff.
they are super comfy.
just depends on ur budget

All footstraps are adjustable. Either by a velcro strap or by the screws into the board.

There should be some different holes to screw through to tighten them up.

Or,undo the velcro strap and pull it tighter.

I've played around with the adjustments quite a bit. Not much luck...Just went to the local shop. As it turns out, they sell the liquid force heal straps separately from the entire "adjustable interface kit", so for a couple of dollars I should be back in business. Thanks.
