I am totally confused by that question, because quite frankly it doesn't make much sense. But what I think you're asking is "can I adjust bindings on my own to fit my boots?" and the answer is no, unless you have like rental shop demo bindings. When they mounnt them, they drill the ski for the binding for the specific sole length. Thats why you have to take your boots skis and bindings with you when you get them mounted.

it depends what the size difference in boots is. if its only a half size then yeah its good. but a whole size prolly wont work.

it depends on the bindings, if they are rossi/look then no, salomon can move a whole size belive me i have them, and they are not demmos.

hmm interesting i didn't know salomons could do that. thats pretty awesome. I knew bindings could be slightly ajusted, but i didn't know salomons could go a whole size.

Any binding can be changed over one size. Markers and Look/Rossis have a small phillips screw in the back that moves the binding forward or backward depending which way you turn it, and most others have a little metal tab the lifts up to allow the heelpiece to slide forward and backward.

i guess i wasnt very clear

i had old boots from a few years ago that my mom took to the ski show to mount my new skis BUT NOW i have new boots that she forgot about....soooo now i have to adjust them because i dont use my old boots anymore and they are a size bigger than my new ones.. so i want to see if without taking them back to the shop, if i can adjust the bindings to the new boots myself

I've have moved numerous bindings forward and back without remounting. Including Look, Salomon, Marker, so yes, you can adjust them. Although they might be alittle farther back then you wanted.

Dude, it's really easy. I've done it a million times for people who have bought new boots. See my previous post.
