I'm looking into buying a pair of skis of a fellow ns'er and was wondering if the bindings are adjustable enough to fit a smaller size boot.

Bindings are marker griffons, mounted for a 326mm BSL (29.5 size full tilt boot)

I have size 26.5 salomon spks (309 BSL)

But I am also looking into getting 27.5 boot (Let me know if you have any suggestions for a cheaper, versatile boot for sale. new or used)

thanks much

you should find out how far back or forward the ski is mounted. Cause your boot will fit it's just if the ski is center mounted you will be pretty far forward from true center. When you get the ski TAKE IT TO A SHOP TO GET ADJUSTED IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADJUST FORWARD PRESSURE. AND GET A BOOT THAT FITS NOT ONE THAT IS BIGGER SO IT WILL FIT IN YOUR SKI BETTER.

Yes just the heel slides. And if you don't know what forward pressure is you shouldn't worry about it and just take your stuff to a shop once you get it to get it adjusted. If the boot is too small for the previous mount it will need to be remounted which isnt that big of a deal.
