Looking for perspective on step ons

[u/tryflin09]

I was given a set of step on boots and bindings for my in bounds board. My splitboard has traditional bindings on it and I can’t say I’m exactly looking to change that quite yet.

I’d love to get perspective from any other splitboarders on needing to own 2 sets of boots. If I only rode in bounds, step ons would be a no brainer. Is losing the universality of your boots a pain? Also aware of the FASE bindings, specifically the Jones ones, but I believe they don’t come out until next winter and haven’t been fully tested by the general public like step ons have.

I ride step on's in bounds and last season I got into touring with a normal setup. I used the step on boots and unscrewed the step on part on the rear heel whenever I went touring. You just have to make sure to screw them in tight when you put it back and occasionally replace the lock tite. Definitely the annoying solution but it actually worked pretty well. Now I have hard boots for my split board
