My wife and I bought a first set of skis after renting last season. They are well rated (as far as I can tell) beginner/intermediate skis that both come with integrated bindings. I snowboarded for many years but decided to switch to skiing and try it out with my wife as she learns.
The Look Xpress 10 bindings on my Rossignol Experience 76 Ci do not cover the entire heel of the boot. The boot is tight into the heel cup and if the binding is adjusted shorter, the coverage is the same but the spring begins to compress more. So it is fully seated up against the heel of the binding, I can see this from looking underneath as well. It just doesn't come all the way over the heel portion up to the back of the boot, the overhang of the cup is smaller. Boot is a Rossignol All Track Pro 100, both are ISO 5355.
In contrast, the Marker ERP 10 Quickclik bindings on my wife's K2 Anthem 75 cover the entire heel.
Is this normal / OK? Just differences between binding design / manufacturer?
I wore my boots and clicked in and moved around and they are tight in the binding.
They also had a K2 Iconic 76 ski with Marker bindings that were the same size/shape as these Rossi's, but they were slightly more expensive. If the bindings are better I am ok paying extra for them.
Thank you.
