Some stores will consider a medium to be a size 8, while others a size 10-12. As an average, a Medium is likely to be a around a size 10.
If the bindings are too small , your toes will hang off the board too much. The left boot is W small 3-6 with a M 9.5 boot. Compare the toe over hang eith the left and right boot.

Do boots fit in all bindings? Boots are different sizes. When you have your own bindings, you take the time to make sure the straps fit just right and the backplate is at a good angle and the toe in and toe out degrees are just so. Your boots will probably fit either medium or large bindings at the rental shop.

If you have a boot that is lower profile you may not need a wide board unless your foot is US 12 or over. If you ride a boot that does not have any size reducing qualities, and has a little more bulk to it, you may need a wide at an US 11/11.5.

Bindings have a

bindings will
fit sizes 6 through 9 in mens
boots. Please use the below chart to determine which

If you want to buy your gear à la carte, it's possible to spend far less than $900 for an entire setup: a $350 board leaves you $450 to spend on boots and bindings. You can get respectable bindings for $150. Spend the balance on your boots: if you must have top-of-the-line anything, it should be your boots.
A bindings recommended use and flex rating will go hand-in-hand so it is important to determine your ride style and ability level before selecting a pair of bindings. For example, all-mountain riders and beginners should look for a binding with a medium flex as they offer the most versatility.
Snowboard Binding / Board Compatibility
Bindings often come with multiple base plates, making them compatible with most snowboards. Most boards feature bolt mounting patterns that are 2x4 or 4x4. Some bindings from other manufacturers can be adapted to work with the Channel System by purchasing compatible discs.Technically, all you need is for them to hold your feet to the board. But good ones will be a lot more comfortable, more responsive, easier to adjust, and these days, can even improve your board's flex pattern and help reduce the "dead spots" where the board doesn't flex under where your bindings are mounted.
Often overlooked but vitally important to your snowboard set-up, snowboard bindings deliver power from your body, legs and feet into the board. A good pair of bindings will allow you to control your board with ease, keep your feet comfortable and absorb vibrations.
It's important that your board, bindings and boots all match your ability level and preferred style of riding. Your first priority should be to find a comfortable pair of boots. If you're new to snowboarding or mainly looking to ride the park, it's better to opt for a softer flex.
Ride makes all around good bindings that will perform just fine in the park. I would recommend the SPi. They are the type of binding that you will almost never have any trouble with. Very durable and reliable.
You can put together an almost infinite number of snowboard and bindings combinations…you can mix brands, styles, flexes, colors, etc. They design their bindings and boards to compliment each other. So for a very aggressive, stiff board, they will tend to pair an aggressive, stiff binding. It makes sense.
You will need overhang to be able to apply leverage to your edges and to get the most out of your board. 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of boot overhang for both toe and heel is ideal, and will not create problematic toe or heel drag.
Conventional bindings will always overhang the board. In a prefect fit, your bare foot will overhang the edges. Therefore your boots will always overhang more and the heelcup of your bindings will be outside of your boot heel. The binding's toeside will vary a bit more depending on binding design.
c) White bindings. Anything white will get dirty-ish. But in my experience, playing in the snow helps give it a "wash" and it may darken after some time, but still be decently white.

Depending on how your shoes fit, it's most likely that you'll either be your normal shoe size, 1/2 a size smaller or 1/2 a size larger for your snowboard boot.
The discs on normal Burton bindings are made to accommodate this, and therefore Burton disc bindings (non EST) from any year are the ideal match for any board with a 3-D Pattern. Again, EST bindings will not work because they are designed specifically for the ICS Channel.
Butterscotch said: EST bindings are for their ICS boards. The bindings mount in a channel instead of the more traditional threaded holes in the board. If you see two long channels down the middle of the board than you need EST bindings. If you see screw holes than you need normal bindings.
Some will fit OK into a medium others will require a large binding. Bindings have lots of possible adjustments, gas pedal, ankle and toe straps, high back angles and rotation. In general it is better to have a binding be a little too snug than too big. So if in doubt, reach out.
Since most snowboarders ride a board that is 85% to 92% of their own body height, plugging a couple numbers into a simple formula can tell you the board length that might fit you best. The formula is as follows: Your Height (in inches) X 2.54 X 0.88 = Your Recommended Board Length.

Snowboard Binding Fit Tips
Snowboard bindings must accommodate your boot size. A compatible binding will grip a boot snugly and securely, but without forcing the boot into position or pinching it into place. Bindings should allow your boots to flex, without letting them wobble or shift.If you are a 12 boot and enjoy shorter park boards, then you will definitely benefit from a wide board. If you are a 12 boot and prefer to ride freeride boards longer than 160cm, then you can stick with a non-wide board because your chosen board will likely already be wide enough.
