8/3/2023 0 Comments Clew step ons![]() I was thinking, “ah, this is another prototype phase I need to ride out”. This got me worried and made me hold off. Immediate after that, I saw vids online of the new clips being easily breakable. With regards to the clicking noise, they fixed it with the upgraded toe clips (so I was like: yey). if they were ever going to innovate on this (yup, they marketed this hard this year and last) and if they were going to offer more boot options and open it to other brands (yup, DC and Nitro so far).boots too stiff (even Ruler) that it was borderline hard to ride.I’m talking about the bugs of the first version they have like (to name a few): Well these are cons but they aren’t really cons for you to fix but rather Burton’s. That helps to lessen the total price □ The Version 1 problems But when I really wanted it and I was in the store, it was just regular Step Ons and Ruler available, which turned out to be more than enough for me actually and exactly what I needed. I was also dreaming of getting the Genesis Step Ons too and maybe the fancy boots (e.g.: Swath/Photon). If I didn’t have this factor down, then I probably still would not have bought it…yet. ![]() I overcame this because I remembered I had work benefits and I realized I had to get a more proper-fitting boots anyways. It’s expensive and you have to buy bindings and boots. At the end of the day you know that I still got them but it’s definitely worth quickly mentioning those too. Sure Burton Step Ons are not perfect and there were some challenges along the way. (that you can overcome that I had to get over) The entry of your foot is way better compared to Flows, but I’ve tried Flows before and the “step in motion like a shoe” feels like it’s perfect when you’re on flats.īurton is different too, compared to traditional bindings, but I find Burton’s to be more practical. maybe this is better…”.īut based on the videos it just looks like you have to get it right perfectly every time. Honestly I was committed to buying Step Ons but when it came out, it got my attention and made me say: “hold on hold on…let’s not buy yet. With Clew, you’re basically walking around with half of your binding. But this isn’t specific to Step Ons anyways since with the other bindings, you’d still have to learn their own respective systems. I’d say that the only “payment” you have to do with this system is the learning curve. It’s actually just quick to get in and out with little to no compromise. ![]() If you said that the Step Ons are only secure 95% of the time, trust, they’d be at the bottom of the competition right now and they wouldn’t be popular and no one would buy them. It’s not going to fall when you ride, when you crash, or when you ride the lift.Īlso, it’s not like the other bindings have a tendency to come undone but rather this was a big point for Burton to lose. (on snow and also during air travel) since the binding itself is lighter (lightest out of all the competition) It’s tried and tested Oversimplified, Burton just checks everything I wanted in a quick entry/release binding system: It makes my board lighter to carry I’ve ridden my Step Ons for the latter half of winter 2023.Loving it, running it to the ground, and it’s the gift that keeps on giving! I actually own a Burton Step On + Burton Ruler (SO).Here are some more context to give you background on my decision:
