I just bought a pair of Fischer skis and bindings over the internet for my
wife. (actually everyone local was out of stock for the year!)
The system is such that mounting the bindings and setting them for the
boot size is pretty foolproof. She is a very conservative skier, so
setting the adjustments at the very bottom of the scale (4) like her old
skis should be fine.
I am able to pop the boots out with what seems like a reasonable amount of
force

Is there any compelling reason to have an "expert" check this over; are
brand new binding likely to be really far off? If it were for me I
wouldn't worry about it, but I would hate to see someone else get hurt
because I would spring for a prudent expense.

Thanks.

What JQ said. Its cheap, why wouldn't you just get it done right?
Chances are the bindings will be just fine if you do what you described.
But for $25, why **** around? Its her legs you'r gambling with. You bet
right you gain $25, you bet wrong, you have a painful and extremely
inconvenient if not disabling injury.
