    They're sort of old fashioned. Because of the fact that they can release, they can result in injury more easily. If one leg releases you could twist your knee, if both release your board could run away if not leashed to you. Some people debate the need for highbacks, but straps are considered better for transferring power to the board and keeping it attached to you.

    Burton tried their own system a few years ago only to discontinue them. So if Burton can't shovel their step-ins off then they must be shit.
