I'm planning to get maybe Relay E/Antidote bindings (Any ideas on which one to get?) and the F22W boots from Salomon, with the Burton Feather. I was just wondering if the bindings would fit with the board? And if say, size 7/8 boots with the Medium bindings?
My shoe size is about 8 and I really don't have anywhere to go try on the boots or the bindings, so I'm kind of stuck on terms of knowing what size I need. I'm just starting out boarding and have only gone a couple times, but I'm getting a season pass up to one of the local mountains and planning on going lots later on.
Any additional info you need just ask. Thanks!

You should never buy snowboard boots without first trying them on. If you plan to buy them online then you should try them in a snowboard shop first. Having the boots fit properly is really important it'll affect your riding and your feet will get tired and sore and you won't have as much fun. So try to go to a snowboard shop and get someone to help you find a boot size that fits right.
With snowboards and bindings there isn't usually any problems with fit/compatibility so you won't have a problem there.
edit: oh yeh, i forgot about the base plates, the bit that attaches the binding to the board. Burton do have a different hole arrangement on the board, but some bindings do come with replacement base plates to fit Burton boards, just ask the shop person when buying the board/bindings.
With boots and bindings it is best to try them together to see if they fit properly (you'll have to go to a shop for this aswell). However, most of the time this shouldn't be an issue, just make sure you get the right sized bindings for your boots.
If you really can't get to any snowboard shops off the mountain, you could wait till you go to the ski mountain and buy your entire setup there, that way you'll have the correct sizes and get some professional advice on your gear. However, i highly recommend you go to a snowboard shop off mountain before your trip that way you can take your time to think about which gear you really want. Also board shops off mountain tend to be cheaper then ones on mountain.

Yeah as said by the person above never buy boots without trying them on first even if you know someone with the same size feet as you and that has the same boots and rates them really highly. The chances are there feet are shaped differently or are wider than yours, so its always best to try on first. The bindings you are planning on getting should fit most makes, but Burton has a different set up with there bindings compared to most brands so i would check first at a shop if solomon bindings would fit a burton board ok?. Medium bindings are the right size for 7/8 feet.
