Ight so last year I picked up some new 2015 al dentes and new marker griffon bindings. I've also been using my hot dogger boots for over 2 years now and only this past season I noticed that my boot would shake in the binding. So i moved the heal piece up a bit to make it more of a snug fit. The boots are pretty beat up and I am wondering if getting a new heal piece might solve some of the shaking.
 
Did you have a shop set the bindings? Its one of two things...

Your boot toe is worn down and needs to be replaced, if you did have a shop set your bindings and they did not catch that, bad on them.

That binding has a toe height adjustment, its that screw you see at the back of the AFD plate. Again if you had a shop set them they should have made that adjustment. The bad thing about that binding is that you can only adjust the toe height whit the boot out of the binding. Raise the toe height by turning the screw (clockwise I think, or counter clockwise, I don't have one in front of me) then put the boot back in. The test is to put a business card in between the boot and the AFD plate and it should take a slight tug to remove the business card.

Again if you did have a shop set your bindings and that is what you ended up with then they screwed you, either by not setting your toe height or by setting the binding to a boot that did not pass the visual inspection.

If you did it your self, please take it to a shop and have it done by a certified binding tech. Shops pay a lot in insurance and testing of their techs to get this right. #supportyourlocalskishop
 
Yeah I'm not sure moving that heelpiece forward was a good move. You might've solved one problem by creating another one.

Thanks man! I'll go try this right now! I had the shop do it, but they did it for a different boot which is probably why I am having my boot shake +K

take them to a shop wiith the boots your using, no point messing with the bindings if you are not sure you know what your doing. it may be that the boots are no skiable so have a shop look over your setup

I mean I also race, and I use rossignol bindings and the boots don't move a bit so I think its the bindings, because when I started the season I wasn't using full tilts

What do you mean, the full tilts dont move in the rossi's? Still take them to a shop man no point trying to adjust somthing yourself that needs to be set correctly

Yes its the allen behind the AFD plate (toe piece) as the turn the allen the AFD plate will slide forward creating more pressure
