I "generally" agree with this, but also responded to this
question saying that my AT boots fit my regular Marker
step-ins (not Rotamats) just fine *as long as I adjusted
the bindings for boot sole length*.


Marker has that physically sliding antifriction device at the toe - I
suggests it works with the AT lug sole whereas teflon type antifriction
pads would be probamatic. That may be why you are having good luck with
your AT boot/alpine binding rig.

But absolutely - the binding has to be adjusted for proper sole length
by setting the pre-load appropriately.

Agree and Tyrolia also has an active AFD which is why
I have them on the skis that I normally use with the
AT boots.
