Sometimes I have people out on the boat who've never wakeboarded before or wakeboarded very little. Some have big feet. Others have small feet. I've got an old wakeboard they could use but I need boots that will adjust significantly or stretch to accommodate some of them. Recommendations?

Don't know of any size adjustable boot. but i think most open toed boots/bindings have a 2-3 size range or are S/M/L. those will either be "a little too big, just right or too tight" depending on the riders size. but they'll work if your folks are beginners...Or just surf, problem solved!

A lot of the cheaper open toe boots come in a 7-11.5, 8-12 size etc. That would probably be your best option. Maybe keep a pair of thick socks on board too for the ones with smaller feet

if you are looking for really adjustable boots, sandal bindings will do well for just about anybody. if you can find some. if the people are pretty new, it shouldn't matter much to them that they are sandal bindings.

for a while we were using two different sized boots and swapping them out when needed. got the second pair off ebay used for hella cheap. it was a little bit of a pain if more than one sized binding were needed in the same day, but it did the job.

Thanks for the feedback to you both

I have a set of the CWB Hinge bindings. they open up nice and wide like the flow snowboard bindings. I have the S/M and they supposedly go to size 8, but I've had people that are 9 to 9.5 use them. The large goes from 9-12 so that would fit most people. You might be able to get the large and then get some neoprene socks for the people with smaller feet??

how do you find the weight of those bindings? My wife had a set of CWB sage's and when they needed replacing I got her a set of double up alias's and they felt about half the weight of the cwb

I really don't know any better. I have nothing to compare them to. I mean, I'm still riding a 2002 Hyperlite Belmont. So I'm sure my entire setup is heavy.
