Just fitted a pair of these to my nobile 666 134. and they are sick supper comfy when you have them on so soft under foot lots of flex alowing you to still do all your normal kiting moves grabs etc and still ride toe side normaly. They make the board edge efortlessly you think your just cruising through a bit of a light patch look back and your blasting a masive ruster tail was cool. a little bit deceptive at first when unhooking easily unhooking with a lot more power and when you did the extra weight made a huge difference sending the board upwards like a rocket no stopping it. Through rolls etc they really made my body extremely laid out was lots of fun.
I tried them loose, half done up(just across the top), and fully done up the half done up felt the most comfortable to get used to them and allowed a little extra flex and when i stacked in shallow watter my feet both slid out. With them fully laced up the board fellt completely different you know that you are now part of the board no getting away from it made it supper aggresive to turn carve etc was a really strange feeling having that much controll over the board. I had a couple of stacks no broken bones yet really didnt notice any real differance from crashing with a normal set of foot pads as i normaly try not to loose my board in a stack.
The boots make the board feel small so would definatly recomend putting them on a bigger board will try them on my 137 as well but for now i cant weight for some more wind to see how much extra power i can hold down. Watch out for the supper explosive pop there almost seems to be no limit to how much you can load up the board. good times
