Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Do I need to adjust the binding from 27 to 27.5 boots size?

Hi,

I have bought "Salomon mission 4" boots size 27, and pair of skies adjusted to this size, and now I want to change the boots to one size bigger (27.5), do I have to adjust the binding to make them fit for the new 27.5 boots?

yeah but only a bit to compensate for the forward pressure

Normally the half sizes use the same shell as the full size. So 27 & 27.5 In the same MODEL should be the same. The size though is irrelevant for binding fitting, it's the BSL (base sole length ) which is important and should be moulded into the boot somewhere (usually the side ).

It depends on the sole lengths of the boot rather than the size. You may find both boots have the same size (or almost the same size) of boot shell. The length of both boots should be written on the side of the boot near the heel piece.

Even just click the new boot into your bindings and check that the forward pressure is ok (there will be an indicator on your ski binding, although I'm not entirely sure where that will be on your specific binding.) If it is, no need to change the binding

If in doubt, take them to a ski shop to get checked. Better safe than sorry if you aren't sure!

Thank you all for your quick answers. I will take them tomorrow to the ski shop and see if an adjustment is required, and I'll report back.

Good idea. Best not taking the risk!

Happy skiing.

Even two pairs of boots with the same Mondo size could easily have different sole length, so definitely get it checked if you're not sure. Ask them to show you the forward pressure indicator on your bindings so you can check this yourself another time, as it's easy for a binding to get knocked out of place.
