Size Chart for Ski Bindings

Ski Bindings are very important in skiing because together with your ski boots they form the link between your body and your skis. Good bindings should give you a perfect balance between tightly gripping your boots and releasing when the pressure exceeds adjustable settings. The quality of your Bindings is a very important safety issue and you should take the time and the money to select the right bindings for your skiing needs.  

All movement and pressure you place on your boot is directed to your skis through your bindings. Modern bindings also serve a second purpose: to release your boot when the pressure reaches a predefined level. This makes sure that in a heavy fall your skis do not stay attached to your legs. If they would they could serious injuries like fractures or torn ligaments.  
  
Step In Bindings are, by far, the most common type of binding. They generally use a separate toe and heelpiece that are attached to the top of the ski. The toe-side piece commonly allows sideways release and the heelpiece allows upward release. It is very important to know which piece allows for which kind of release. Some toe pieces also allow upward release. Likewise some heelpieces allow sideways release. A certified ski technician can adjust the force needed for release.
