North Flex Footstraps/Pads

North Flex Footstraps/Pads

Lightweight minimal design

Simplicity and ergonomic comfort, with one single strap for even tension. North balanced simplicity and support with a single fastening strap, and optimised the footbed for cushioned comfort.

Super-fast assembly with maximum adjustability

Move your bindings backwards (heel side) or forwards (toeside), set the position for a wide or narrow stance, and change your duck stance. Simply drop the entire binding onto the board and insert the screw where you want it. The intuitive Flex connection system uses standardised M6x16mm screw hardware to fasten the binding to the board in various positions with easy stance adjustment to suit all riders. The oval hole allows for both 6”- 6.5” industry standard bolt spacings.

Anatomical comfort with grip when wet

The anatomically-shaped footbed is engineered using a single layer of waterproof rubberised EVA foam. Lightweight, durable, and impact absorbing, with the grip pattern height increased for added comfort, its forward-angled anti-slip serration pattern helps your foot stay in place on various angles. The shock-absorbing footbed is ergonomically angled to encourage optimised weight distribution and knee alignment, provide core support and reduce pressure on your feet, knees, hips and back.

Seamless KnitFlex top strap

The soft and comfortable single-fastering strap conforms to all foot shapes, while the rigid skeletal frame within the strap ensures a supportive locked feel. Norths unique seamless KnitFlex lining is pre-tensioned and laminated to the conforming foam inner, so it can create a 3D-curve without any bunching or creasing, and there’s no stitching to rub on your foot.

Extended Lateral Arch Supports

The inner and outer arch supports ensure an even distribution of weight and stabilise the tarsal bones, allowing for a more solid stance and maximum support during hard landings. The arch supports are extended inside the strap to ensure comfort where the top strap meets the footbed, protecting your foot from the most rigid load-bearing part of the binding. No blisters, no hard edges.

Raised Toe Grip

The raised toe grip allows your toes to remain loose and spread out in their natural position, while also providing an edge for riders to get purchase on. The new softer toe bar has been engineered to suit different foot shapes, allowing the rider to grip on with toes and prevent your foot from slipping out during high rotation tricks and landings.

Shaped Heel Cup

The shaped heel cup cradles the heel and stabilises the foot upon impact. North engineered it wider on the new Flex so you can lock your foot sideways in both directions. The Knitflex fabric is pre-tensioned and laminated to the conforming foam inner, so it can create a 3D-curve without any bunching or creasing, and there’s no inner stitching to rub on your foot. The soft foam allows your foot to shuffle more easily into a locked-in position

Injection Velcro Strap

Decreases sand and debris retention. Extended top flaps increase hold and reduce water lift.

Longitudinally convexed chassis shape

The convex drives more pressure on to the tip and heel of the chassis when the binding is attached to the board, locking out sand and debris from under the binding. The split inner-velcro design ensures a custom fit on top of the feet for all shapes, sizes and rider styles. Position the velcro straps wider apart for a more fixed feel, closer together for easy board-offs. Our fully re-engineered top flap gives a strong hold without compromising strap flexibility.
