The discs only have 3 holes mainly for sliding the binding from heel to toe. The boot to binding adjustability is limited. The Clew Freedom 1.0’s are not very adjustable but that is how all quick release bindings are. With Supermatics and Burton Step On’s it isn’t easy in really steep terrain. What I like about Clew is if you have to put your bindings on in steep terrain you can do it like you would with normal strap in bindings. The ratchets aren’t great but you don’t need to use em much. The ankle straps of the Clew Freedom 1.0s have great support and so do the toe straps. It is pretty far from most modern bindings these days. There is only a thin EVA pad on the top that stops before the heel cup. There is almost no shock absorption with the Clew Freedom 1.0s. The Clew did feel like it was a traditional strap binding and I liked that feel vs. It isn’t super responsive like the Burton Step On but pretty close to the Supermatics. The response is pretty middle ground but that is expected since the Clew Freedom 1.0 is the only binding they make. It feels like a base plate from the late 90’s-early 2000’s. Clew has an all plastic base plate to minimize parts but there is nothing happening to help the board flex underfoot. There is no flex underfoot with the Clew Freedom 1.0s. I was surprised that I liked it even though there was no highback rotation. They have a very easy twist on the sides that didn’t bite too much into my calves. I’m not usually a fan of high backs with a quick release on the back as it stiffens up the overall flex and feel but the Clew Freedom 1.0 pulls it off. There is also 2 step in point ladder to click into so if there is snow on the base plate you can still step in. I personally don’t like that the release is behind the high back compared to Burton Step On and Nidecker Supermatic’s with a lever in the front. You can get the Clew Freedom 1.0’s on and off pretty easy. You attach the base plates and can change boards super quick with the ankle/high back unit attached to your feet. You can get several base plates similar to what you can do with some NOW bindings. The Clew Freedom 1.0s have a unique quiver feature. There are some really light bindings at 1.8lbs but these are still pretty far below the 2.8lbs Nidecker Supermatic. Most binddings are around 2-2.2lbs so it isn’t bad at all. The Clew Freedom 1.0 Bindings are 2.4lbs which is a little on the heavy side but not too heavy. I tested the Clew Freedom 1.0 on it’s own but also did same day tests where I compared them to other bindings like the Burton Step On, Nidecker Supermatic, Flow NX2-TM and then other regular strap in bindings like the Union Atlas and Burton Genesis Re:Flex. Similar non-step on bindings: Union Atlas, Union Force, Salomon Highlander, Salomon Hologram, Nitro Team Pro, Nitro Team, Nitro Phantom Carver, Now Drive, Now Pilot. Similar (but not the same) Bindings: Burton Step On, Burton Genesis Step On, Nidecker Supermatic.
