I guess they are o.k. Unless like me you have a wide boot Toe piece is really narrow compared to Salomon. It doesn't really curve around front of boot much I had those exact ones axial, 120 skied on them about 150 day / 2 years, and suprise like you said one of the rear plastic disc on the side bar (orange then) broke. I didn't even notice a first. Boot was still being held in cause of the one on other bar, It was totaly scrap unreparable, according to rossi dealler, They sent it back 2 year waranty, and I got a whole new pair for $15.00. (transport costs) took only a week. I injured a knee with those
Maybe din was a bit high but since I prefer salomon for me. I bad experience doesn't warrent another
