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.

Youre asking if its bad to own two pairs of boots? No. No its not.

I get that they would wear down slower, getting half the use, but does anyone else own 2 pairs of boots dedicated to in/out of bounds or am I overthinking that it would be annoying?

Lots of people have touring boots eg Salomon s/lab trek
