i just bought a pair of fkx and in one of the pics one heel was like way higher than the other i asked a few people on here they didnt know what i was talking about. heres is an example of what im talking about. my question is this a common occurence for these bindings and is it a big problem:

It seemed fine with the boot in.  And I don't think they are supposed to pivot easy, especially with your boot clicked in.  I always saw that as a terrible design flaw in the binding.  It doesn't seem like having a bar extend out from the back that is held on by rivets would work too well.  I have never had the chance to use FKS, so this is just an observation.  Have a shop tech check it out maybe?

yea just to clarify these arent my bindings but by pivot you mean side to side not up and down like these are. and i think the bar just keep the heel at the proper height for you to click i. withoust i think your heel would sag and you would have to pick it up. idk i cant wait for them to arrive and scope them out.

They move in just about every direction, it's fine.  That's why the release is so smooth :)

You asked this a few months ago and people told you they were fine then. They're still fine.

Bindings are good man no worries. I have quite a few pairs and some move a little easier then others nothing to worry about. once you lock the boot in your set.

3 of the 4 pairs of fks i own right now have that exact same thing on at least one heel, it's not a problem at all
