Dont try it, you will ruin your boots. You would also have to grind down your soles and hollow them out so that the new heel and toes will fit.

Dont do it its not worth it.

it could for sure be done, but you would have to do quite a bit of precise grinding and drilling. some guy on TGR mounted tech soles to his full tilts so that he could use them with dynafits, if you found that thread it would help you out.

yes it CAN be done, but it should not be done.

your boot will most likely be out of the DIN norm and no shop will mount bindings with those boots.

the DIN norm is not just height & width, but it also entails having a certain amount of plastic on the toe, above the rubber. You will most likely have to remove too much plastic in order for the boot to fit into a binding and thus no longer be in the norm.
