Closed toe vs Open toe

[STLtige2216]

so i have been riding slingshot drivers for about two years now there kinda wearing down and im shopping for new boots to go along with my new B-side heres my question has anyone gone back to open toe after riding closed toe for so long? what does everyone prefer?and if anyone has any used bindings around size 8-9 let me know

I'll never go back to open toe. Up in north Idaho where we do most of our riding the water is just chilly enough at the beginning and end of the season that closed toes make a huge difference.

Aside from that, I have size 13 feet and on a hard toeside cut with open toes, I could feel my toes in the water, now I'm blissfully unaware if my toes are touching water

This should be in the Wakeboarding section

I would never go back. I was critical at first, but now I am a believer in closed toe boots.

[Bruizza]

Closed toe all the way.

When the water is cold, I would go closed toe also.
