 Poster: A snowHead
|
To try and save money on hire charges I’m donating my old skis (ROSSIGNOL VIPER-S) to my son – he has the same size feet as me – but no boots yet.
I’m going to get some cheap 2nd hand ones (because I’m tight). I know that the ski boot length does vary from make to make but I’m hoping the binding will take up any slack/excess. Is this a fair assumption?

they are generally adjustable within a certain tolerance - yes. But get them properly adjusted.
And maybe not post on snowheads about the advisability of buying second hand ski boots.......

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

griffterski, There is usually about two UK shoe sizes of adjustment in the binding.. so if you both have similar shoe sizes you'll be OK. Otherwise any ski shop can re-mount the bindings to suit the new boots.

griffterski, It's not only the binding length that will need adjusting . . . the DIN setting might need adjusting too, as weight, age and ability are also taken into consideration.

IncogSkiSno, I always tell the guys I'm an old lady with weak knees and I weigh 7 stone. Only the last bit is a lie.

the vipers (IIRC) have an easily adjustable sliding rear "bit" - whcih easily adjusts - you just need to get a screwdriver underneath it and lift it up and slide
But watch out whether the boots' cnetre mark is significantly different from that on eth ski
