So, I went on my first day on my new skis this year (Da'Nollies, not that it matters), and i realised that the toe of my boot was wiggling in the front of my binding. I dont know if its a low din (Its at 9), or just some issue with how the bindings are mounted. It wiggles about .5 centimeter in either direction. its weird because they fit snugly together.
- Bindings: Look PX14
- Boots: Tom Wallisch Full Tilts (2013)
Im not sure what to do, but I want to get it fixed before the next ski day, when im actually hitting jumps.
+K for help.

The PX14s don't have adjustable wings from what I understand so I doubt it is a toe issue. Have you checked your forward pressure?

I'm not 100% sure how to check it on the PX series bindings (so this is a bit of a guestimation) but take your boot, watch the very bottom screw at the rear of the heel piece, and then snap in your boot. Is that screw head flush with the binding?

Welp, here's the PDF download for Look/Rossi binding manual:

Just copy and paste HEELPIECE AXIAL into the text search and that should take you to the forward pressure adjustment. Does that indicator on your heel match up with their instructions?

On rossis there is a small yellow box with a window, there should be a black line in the middle, if it's not visible your forward pressure is off

Your bindings could have also been mounted a little farther from your boot for some reason. Maybe a beginner did it.

If you can't figure that one out you better just go to a shop.

I know some bindings have a toe piece adjustment for basically the amount of play up and down. I've never had to do it though so that's all I got.
