Collection: Wakeboard Boots

Wake boots—also called wakeboard bindings—are the footwear that attaches your feet to the wakeboard. They are essential for control, comfort, and safety while riding.
Wake boots come in open-toe or closed-toe designs.


Closed-toe boots provide a snug, secure fit and better responsiveness—ideal for advanced riders.


Open-toe boots offer more flexibility and a wider fit range—great for beginners or shared setups.


They are mounted onto the wakeboard and come in various flex levels for different riding styles.


Tips:
• Choose closed-toe boots for a performance-focused fit and added warmth.


• Open-toe boots are perfect for sharing between riders with different foot sizes.


• Match your boots with your riding style—softer boots for park, stiffer for boat.


• Make sure your boots are compatible with your board’s mounting system (e.g., 6" standard inserts).

Wake boots are typically sized like regular shoes but may fit differently depending on brand and model.
A snug but not painful fit is ideal—your foot shouldn’t move around inside.


Some models use heat-moldable liners for a custom fit.


Keep in mind: boots loosen slightly when wet, so a snug dry fit is best.


Tips:
• Try boots on with wet feet or after riding for the most accurate feel.


• Check the brand’s size chart—sizing varies between brands like Ronix, Hyperlite, or Liquid Force.


• Consider a boot with dual lacing or a BOA system for better adjustability.


• Women’s-specific boots are designed for narrower feet and lower calf profiles.

Installing wake boots is pretty straightforward, but proper setup matters for comfort and performance:
Most boards use a standard 6" insert pattern, but always confirm boot compatibility.


Use the included mounting hardware (usually screws and washers) to attach the boots.


Adjust your stance width and angle based on comfort and skill level. Beginner stance is typically shoulder-width and 12–15° ducked out.


Tips:
• Don’t overtighten screws—it can strip the inserts.


• Use a thread-locking agent (like Loctite Blue) to prevent screws from loosening during rides.


• Experiment with stance angles to find what feels best—symmetrical duck stance is great for park riding.


• Recheck your mounting every few sessions—vibration can loosen hardware.

Good care extends the life and performance of your wake boots:
Rinse with freshwater after each session to remove salt, sand, or lake gunk.


Let them air dry completely, especially the liners, to prevent odor and bacteria buildup.


Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources which can weaken materials and warp the baseplate.


Check laces, straps, or BOA dials regularly for wear or damage.


Tips:
• Dry them in a cool, shaded area with good airflow.


• Never leave them wet in a bag or hot car—this causes mildew and degradation.


• Periodically check for cracks or delamination in the footbed or base.


• Loosen laces or straps after riding so they don’t stretch out or deform over time.
