The width of your board and the size of your boots are the two factors to consider here. Bindings typically will not create toe drag, but how you adjust those bindings can and will effect how much or how little toe/heel drag you have. When mounting the bindings, most people consider the width of stance, and the angles (degrees to which their toe points towards the nose/tail). But, overhang (toe/heel hanging over the edges of the board) gets neglected. When making adjustments, keep in mind that you can move the heelcup to allow for more room on your heel edge if your toe hangs over too much, or vice versa if you have heel drag. A little overhang on both edges is unavoidable, but if you've got more than an inch or so, it's going to effect your riding. At that point, you'd want to look into getting a wider deck.Help!

Toe drag depends on the width of your board, not necessarily the size of your bindings. Have you checked to see if your size 10.5 boots fit into the M bindings? You shouldn't have much toe drag if you have size 10 feet, but you should examine the board and bindings for how they fit, just in case. Good luck, and take your time finding some fun gear.I want a job in canada next ski season. what the best way to go about it.?
I doubt that you will have toe drag problems with size 10.5 boots on a 158 board but there is no way to tell without putting your whole setup together and seeing how everything fits.One thing to keep in mind is that toe drag (and conversely heel drag) has more to do with the size and geometry of your boots and how you mount your bindings. Increasing your binding angles will decrease the amount of toe drag you experience as will the thickness of the base plates on your bindings.
My suggestion would be to mount your bindings to your board exactly how you want to ride on them strap in your boots and then put the board and the ground and start tipping it up on it's toe edge. See how far you can get before the tip of the boot touches the ground. If you can get up to about 60 degrees or so, I don't think you would have any problems.
My brother-in-law rides size 11 boots on a 155 Ride Timeless and he hasn't had any problems.
Why does excercising increase protein?
Both OLWEN and D15 are correct! If you still have toe drag after splitting the difference between toe/heel by adjusting the heelcup, then consider a ducked stance where you pos. your angles at 15 and -15 degrees or greater. Good luck!!Are there good places to buy skis?
It really depends on what board model you have, if its a custom you will probably experience toe dragyou dont need to get a longer board yo just need to get a mid wide or a wide board
if you hav over a 12 you need a wide which isnt a problem for you so dnt worry bout tht
just when you go to buy board tell them the board that you want and see if it is a mid wide and if not ask them if they have that same board or a similiar one in a mid wide (aton of boards are mid wide so it wont be hard to find one)
