I went to my local shop today to pick up my skis after I took them to get mounted. After he gave me the skis and read me the DIN waiver thing, he mentioned that the 'old' line boots were not DIN compatable. But mine were able to be mounted. I thought that line only had the transfers made for one year. He also mentioned that the heel on my boots is a little awkward. You guys have any imput on this?

Also does anyone use the transfer boot with Look/Rossi bindings? Or does anyone know of any problems that have come up with that setup?

i use the transfer, if you have the one that is like a raichle flexon, blue, then you are fine. Before that one, they made a boot from I believe Dolomite, and it was a snowboard racing boot; for skiboarding.

probably the toe and heel piece are not the proper shape to fit exactly with the bindings... i wouldn't know why though.

Allright boys and girls, heres that story:

Although you all thing that the word DIN means the setting you ski on, it truly is more of a standard set way back when. Its actully a standard that is no longer really used anymore, the word DIN has be used so commenly for the past years that it will never die. Technically, ISO is the new norm, but no one goes around saying whats your ISO setting, DIN just works. (what im trying to say is DIN is essentailly a word that refers to nothing, kinda like widget, Visual Indicator setting is the correct way to say din.)

So, with that said, we go into boot sole norms. Boot soles all have to be a certian shape and size to click into a binding. The first year that line made the transfer boot, all it was was a snowboard carving boot, which is not a boot that is up to alpine boot standards. It worked fine with there skiboard bindings, and would still click into an alpine binding, but is not up to par with the standards, meaning that you would get inconsistant releases and potential for injury. So, 2nd season of the transfer boot was a boot that was up to par.

DIN MEANS NOTHING CHILDERN, It has nothing to do with the little numerbers in your binding, its just a standard set way back when.

the shop is right that the boot has to be din. Look at the the bottom of the boot, usually near the heal it will say din! If it does not say din it will not pass a visual test done by youre shop. I have a pair of the transfers and they are din. not sure if they are the old or new ones though.
