Hi, I'm currently riding boots and loving them but am looking for a decent pair of straps for trying some new tricks that I just don't have the balls to do in boots. Used to have an old pair of north entities which were alright but came pretty loose after about a year. Anyone have any experience with naish Apex's or Cabrinha H2's?

The Apex would have to be my current favourite of all bindings.

I replaced my original Shinn straps/pads with some from Switch (they only have one model). They are really comphy and have great all over foot grip. They are only $105 plus shipping which I think is about $25-30. Highly recommended.

Tough one IMHO, what suits one may not suit another, throw some different foot shapes and width, flat feet, etc etc and it's pretty difficult to get it spot on, also from my experience bedding in , especially memory foam pads can make an average feeling pad feel like your best pair of footwear with some use, for me the shinn pads and a Dakine warlock strap give me a locked in comfort, which can be adjusted on the ride

The apex are really nice, much nicer than cab.
Soft and flexy, but really lock your feet in.
But, they were a bit too short for my size 14 feet so I had to sell em :(
