Hey
Not a review but I'd like to see peoples opinions on these straps.
I ride boots but i thought i'd get some straps to compliment my quiver.
These are cheap at $99, obviously not as good as the NTTs but are the Vario's still ok?
I have heard the old ones had issues with them not tightening but has it been fixed?
I thought I might get some heelstraps aswell.
Thanks

Also, if you have some used NTTs or other good binding I'd be happy to take them off you hands.

Hey Calvin,
I have the 2013 North NTT's and can't speak highly enough of them. Have had them on my board for around 18 mths now with absolutely no dramas.
Don't know what size foot u have but, I found this in the buy and sell section.

Already bought some used NTTs

Some times I just find boots are impractical and sometimes I find I waste a lot of time mucking around with them. Thought it would be good to get a good pair of straps for when I don't feel like trying the latest trick.

boots do take a while to adjust to but you're better off sticking with them. You'll find you actually spend more time body dragging for your board than stuffing around with boots.

yeah, I dont plan on riding straps all the time i just wanted to get some. Thought it would be nice to get a bit of variety and they would be nice for when the winds light.
