Well if you are in kids boots which I imagine you are and the din range works for you yes they will be fine.

Seriously? They must be huge on you. Really at your age and size a jnr boot would be best.

How aggressively do you ski? As long as you aren't either hitting 60+ foot jumps or race competitively I think you should be alright

Seriously your like a us 11? So many people are in boots too big for them but if youse in the correct size and they are an adult boot ten no those bindings won't work as they are a jnr binding. But I'd go get measured up again a I highly doub you are a 27 at 5'4.

if your foot is a size 9.5 in shoes, then you should be wearing like a 25 boot, not 27 lol

That would be the case if you wear your shoes exactly to size ie your toes are on the very from of the shoe. Anyway I would still recomend going to get measured up again.

If you're that big and are in 27.5 boots it means one of two things, either you're a freak of nature and have somehow inherited genes from big foot or you are like me when I first started skiing and just bought the cheapest boots I could find that fit me like a pair of slippers.

I suggest you go to a boot fitter and actually make sure your boots fit you properly before looking at buying other equipment because if you buy bindings and mount them and then find out later down the road that your boots are to big you're going to waste money and potentially hurt the durability of the ski by remounting them again.

You are very similar to me (except for the freakishly large feet). That binding isn't going to work for ya.
Try these http://www.snowandrock.com/salomon-z10-b90/ski-bindings/ski-snowboard-outdoor-sports/fcp-product/50350?listing=true

I ran them last year and I mean, they were OK, but if you were looking at those fischers then I doubt you are looking for anything special haha.

I'm 17 and 5'6" just pushing 130 pounds (little guys)... if this is any help I have size 9 feet and i am in 26.5 SPKs and they are a little big for me, and I am putting them in FKS 140's, even though my dins will never be anywhere near 14.... I guess I should have been a little more realistic with my gear choices, but I am a little better off than some people (my friend has a size 10 foot, 27.5 boots, and they kill his feet because they don't fit well)... so in conclusion, do your research OP and get expert advice for your feet setup or you may regret it.

Now now, we all have different kinds of bodes, muscle builds etc. I'm guessing OP is sort of stocky (muscular) When my cousin was 12, he was 5,7 and 137lbs. He is 14 now and 6,0 may be hard to believe but its true. No need to be rude when you don't even know the kid.

Yeah dude, Im 16 and 120 with size 9.5 feet and I wear 27's and they fit just right. Id suggest a different binding that might last a little longer due to the fact you are probably still growing and might beat those up pretty quick.
