So the toe of my boot is moving up and down in my binding, the forward pressure is set right...99.9% sure. Its a up and down movement. My boots are dalbello crosses but they've been used a lot, like over 250 days on them. There's definately indents or grooves on my boots on the toe and heel from my bindings. I think this is making the fit a little smaller, as well as the bottoms being slightly worn.

My question is could i put a couple layers of duct tape on the toe piece of my binding to eliminate this little movement? I know racers use this on the left or right part to make small adjustments.

Also another ? about fks. Do the heels get pretty beat or loose feeling after a couple years of hard use? Lots of parts just jiggle around a bunch, anyone know what i'm talking about? The function of the bindings is still perfect as far as i know. i never come out when i shouldn't and just love that i can beat the shit out of them. But are these parts getting a little looser in the heel a sign of it about to just blow out one day? They've been this loose/jiggly feeling for at least 100 days and haven't noticed any change in performance of teh binding

Thanks
 
i have never heard of a racer, or anyone for that matter, using duct tape to tweak their boot/binding fit. thats rediculous and so unsafe. ive seen duct tape on boots but thats just for water repelling and warmth. go to a shop with a knowledgeable tech and get a straight answer face to face.
 
when i used to race FIS, there was a lot of people w/ this (left and right, seems kinda ghetto), i dont see how it would be unsafe when used across the whole toe piece of an fks toe. I really have no idea but could you explain why it would be unsafe?
 
and i have yet to find a shop anywhere in CO that will deal w/ an fks binding w/o giving me a look like wtf, inclding CO freeride in breck, and grand sports in WP which i was told were reputable shops.

Tgr and ns are more knowledgable ive found....unfortunately
 
Sounds like toe blocks are too thin and thus not being engaged properly by the binding. Time to get new boots.
