This is not so much a review, more of a piece of information to make these even better.

A lot of riders have been saying that the straps are comfy but they are experiencing issues with the laces slipping.... this is due to one reason.....

They are laced incorrectly!!! True story....

The top of your foot causes the most amount of pressure on the laces when landing which forces the lace to slip. All you need to do to combat this is to lace them up so the locking system is by your toes. This is done really easily and you won't have any more issues with the lases slipping open on landing, no matter how hard you land.

Thanks, happy kiting

i bought a pair of syncs about three months ago and have torn both bindings which were replaced under warranty. i have also just noticed that the footpad plastic is splitting.

i was going to beef the straps up with some more screws but was informed this would void the warranty.

they are super comfy pity they dont last. was wondering about the LF comps aswell if they are any better.

Sounds like a good fix for a common problem.

Sounds like a good idea but what about the metal ring the laces go through on the syncs? It's stitched onto the top of the tongue.

Does the lace lock still work Ok without it?
