Ok, my friend threw my look bindings on my skis and fucked up somehow. there is crazy play with the boot, i can move the toe up and down, and move the boot laterally with the binding moving with it, it appears to be all mounted up properly but something is fucked. The boot is really tight with the heelpiece and the dins are maxed SOMEONE HELP SOON or else i snowboard tomorrow instead. which isnt such a bad thing.

look under the back plate and see if foreward pressure screw is there, then tighetn it, never let people mount your shit, never ever, ski shops have sick tools that do a great job. Or else check if your aft screw on toe is tight, might no be one on those looks though.

several possibilities.

check forward pressure. Put boot in binding. THere is a screw on the back of the heel track. That should be flush with the plastic. If it isn't, then screw it in untill it is.

If you have worn down soles on your boot thatll be an issue.

it could be the boot....my boot was chiped up where the toe and heal went into the binding and i could move my foot around so much, it really decreases ur feel of the ski

ok you need to check the screw in the heel track, it must and i say again must be flush with the rest of the binding, if it isnt, then tighten it, and for gods sake dont let other people mount or adjust your skis unless there a shop tech
