Open Toe Bindings

Open toe wakeboard bindings from Ronix for several shoe sizes

Sharing one board with family or friends on the boat works best with open toe wakeboard bindings. Because your toes stay free at the front, one model fits feet up to four US sizes apart. Wakefactory currently carries four open models from the Ronix 2026 line, two for adults and two for young riders. All four are built on the Ronix MainFrame chassis, which adapts to the contours of your foot and holds it firmly without pressure points.

The adult models come in three size ranges, all listed in the table further down. Since the ranges overlap, open toe wakeboard bindings also work for an in-between size like US 8. When the next rider steps in with feet two sizes bigger, a quick re-adjustment of laces or dial is all it takes.

That makes open toe wakeboard boots a product for boats with a changing crew. Do you ride your board alone and always in the same size? Then our full range of wakeboard bindings, from open to fully closed, is the better place to start. For everyone else, open toe wakeboard bindings save buying a second pair.

Adjustable wakeboard bindings with BOA or AutoLock

Each of the four models adapts to your foot in its own way. The Anthem BOA 2.0 Low Cut Tech uses a dial that tightens the fit in fine steps, even between two runs. On the District, Stage 2 foam keeps comfort, adjustability and durability in balance. Either way, Ronix builds adjustable wakeboard bindings that need no tools. How often the rider changes decides which system suits you. Compare the four models mainly by closure and size range:

Model	Rider	Features	Sizes (US)	Price
Ronix Anthem BOA 2.0 Low Cut Tech	Men	BOA Fit System, Superstrap at the ankle	5 to 8.5 / 7.5 to 11.5 / 10.5 to 14.5	CHF 419
Ronix District	Men	Stage 2 foam, flex 5 out of 10	5 to 8.5 / 7.5 to 11.5 / 10.5 to 14.5	CHF 379
Ronix Vision	Boys	AutoLock lacing, flex 4 out of 10	2 to 6 / 5 to 8.5	CHF 249
Ronix August	Girls	AutoLock lacing, flex 4 out of 10	2 to 6	CHF 249

Choose the Anthem if you ride a lot yourself and still want to share. According to Ronix, MainFrame 2.0 and the Superstrap give it a response close to a high-end closed toe boot. The District costs CHF 40 less. Its medium flex makes it a forgiving pick among open toe wakeboard bindings for relaxed sessions behind the boat.

Vision and August for young riders with AutoLock lacing

Kids' feet often grow faster than a season lasts. Ronix therefore built Vision and August as open toe wakeboard bindings with a fit designed specifically for kids. Even small hands pull the AutoLock lacing tight without help, while the wide easy entry saves time and nerves on the dock.

With an open front, the toes simply stick out a little further after a growth spurt instead of pressing against a cap. At flex 4 out of 10, both models are softer than the adult versions. Light riders can put them on edge with less effort. For families with growing kids, open toe wakeboard bindings often cost less than a new fixed-size boot every year.

Open toe bindings or closed toe boots for your riding style?

Whether wakeboard open toe bindings or a closed boot belong on your board depends on two questions. Do you share the board with others? And how ambitious is your riding?

Unlike open toe wakeboard bindings, a closed toe boot also wraps your toes and only fits properly in one exact size. It rewards that with very direct contact to the board, which ambitious riders value on big jumps across the wake. If you work on new tricks every weekend, that remains the more precise solution. In that case, pick a model from our closed toe bindings.

Open toe bindings play to their strengths wherever the board changes riders: on the family boat, at the summer house by the lake or on a first try-out day with friends. Beginners benefit too, because the foot slides in without a fight. A soft to medium flex forgives sloppy landings in the first season. Looking for the best open toe wakeboard binding for performance? The Anthem comes closest to a closed boot, yet it still trades a little precision for flexibility in sizing.

Ronix as partner of our Academy in Agno on Lake Lugano

All four models come from Ronix, a brand that also backs the Academy we run in Agno, Ticino. There we coach riders from first timers to advanced level behind our Malibu 22MXZ and 24MXZ boats. Our head coach Maurus Zwicker won the 2025 Europe & Africa Wakeboard Boat Championship. Coaching shows quickly how much a loose foot slows down every turn. That experience goes into every pair of open toe wakeboard bindings we stock. We tested many products ourselves first.

None of the four bindings costs less than CHF 100, so delivery within Switzerland is free for you. Swiss Post brings them to you in 1 to 3 working days. Once used on the water, bindings can no longer be returned, though. Unsure about the size range of your open toe wakeboard bindings? Message us on WhatsApp at +41 78 851 17 75 first, or try the models on in our shop in Agno by appointment. If a lace wears out after many sessions, Ronix spare parts are waiting in our wakeboard hardware category, together with mounting sets. That way your open toe wakeboard bindings stay in use for many seasons.
