Is this normal?
I stuck a pair of Alpina boots with NNN toes that I normally use with
Rottefella NNN bindings into a new pair of skis with Salomon bindings. I have new Karhu boots with Salomon toes on them to go with the new skis, but I LOVE the old boots, and I just did it to see if it would work. It did. The heel of the Alpina kind of perched upwards, but my body weight would push them down. I wonder if they'll really work when I actually ski on them. I don't want to mess up the Salomon bindings though. Do NNN boots normally interchange with Salomon bindings? |

It's not the "toe" of the boot, its the entire sole. Theres a huge difference between the Salomon SNS Profil sole and the NNN sole. Put the ski on a table and put the boot into the binding and I think you'll decide that although you can make it work, it's not good. |

I haven't really paid that much attention to the way the bindings are built, but would it be possible for a boot manufacturer to make a boot that would really fit both bindings ? I mean by adapting the sole or whatever to fit both bindings ? |

I did that. I noticed it. That's why I said the heel was raised. But
will it damage the binding? June "Camilo" wrote in message ... "JCZ" wrote in message ...

now that man is thinking! that is a great idea!!!
of course you could. just need a sole that has the big groove from the profil, the side grooves form the NNN, and also an extra cross groove for the pilot. i think rental places would love them. |

But there'll probably be some kind of patent protection on the sole patterns I suppose. |
