Compared to the standard ISO binding/boot (FT boots, OG Pivots, etc.), is there any noticeable drawbacks to using GW Boots/bindings for Park riding?

GW is looking to be the new standard, just curious if purists will stick to the OG ISO boots/bindings due to a more predictable release point, better lateral release, etc.

There’s no improvement/drawback to release on ISO vs GripWalk. No one really cares, GripWalk is the new norm because it makes walking in ski boots a fuck ton easier. Doesn’t make a difference once you’re clicked in to a binding, anyone who says they can actually “feel a difference” is cappin

Hard sole alpine boots are this shizzzz. Maybe dangerous walking, but that's the way it is.

True OGs wear tele boots clicked into their alpine bindings.
