Do Salomon shift bindings work with alpine boots?
Boot Compatibility The Shift is an MNC (Multi-Norm Certified) binding, meaning it can fit a variety of ski boots and sole types. This includes standard alpine models (ISO 5355) like the Tecnica Mach1 130, backcountry designs (ISO 9523) like the Scarpa Maestrale RS, Walk to Ride (WTR) soles, and GripWalk boots.

What boots work with Salomon shift bindings?
The Shift is compatible with all “normed” boots — essentially any boot with full-sized toe and heel lugs. Boots with short lugs and Dynafit’s “sharknose” boots are not compatible, but any “WTR” (walk to ride), or Grip Walk boots are. After one long day of skiing on the Shift, I am impressed by its downhill performance.
How do I know what size bindings to get?
Your skis’ waist width will determine the ski brake width (the distance between the two brake arms). For example, if your skis are 80mm wide at the waist, you will need bindings with a brake width of at least 80 mm and preferably no wider than 95 mm.

Do at Boots work in alpine bindings?
MOST AT boots and alpine boots will work with MOST frame AT bindings (Marker, Salomon/Atomic, Tyrolia, Fritschi), but be sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendations. AT boots with rockered ISO 9523 Touring soles are not compatible with many Alpine bindings. Even if they “fit”, release may not be consistent.
Are shift bindings good?
As compared, though, to dedicated touring bindings, the Shift is pretty mediocre in touring performance. The bulky construction and plethora of moving parts attract and collect more ice and snow than most. The toe piece range of motion is enough for basic touring but comes up short in certain situations.
