choosing boots is just about finding a comfortable pair, look at how stiff the backs are etc, some prefer flexy boots some prefer stiff..
only problem is most wakebindings use 8inch spaced inserts which dont fit kiteboards so you have to drill a hole in the mounting plate, but most of the never boots coming out now have the same 6inch spacing as kiteboards.

if you going to roll with boots go for a board made for riding with them, catapult has nice boards for bindings with both 6inch and 8inch inserts for straps nboots, just call eric. or LF has nice boards for boots but onl have the standards spaced inserts as the kite specific boots have the right sized plates. try something 135 - 138 aswell.

LF makes sick bindings, hyperlite, ronix etc all make super comfy really good performing bindings.
