Just bought new boots, does 1mm difference matter for bindings?

Hey guys. So I just bought new boots, same mondo size as my old ones, but the boot sole length is 1mm shorter. My old boots were 308mm, and these are 307mm. Seems to be fine with my current binding set up - but should I take them to a shop to get them to check it out anyway? Or does it really matter for 1mm..? Probably not relevant, but I’m riding ARW 86’s with Marker Squires.

Adjust the forward pressure accordingly, probably half a turn for 1 mm.

if your bindings were set up properly for your previous set of boots then 1mm shouldn't mean any need for adjustment but you can check it for yourself by clipping the boot in and the screw at the base of the heel-piece should be flush with the housing. See page 24 diagram 5.3 - 13 for how to check the forward pressure on markers (https://d3swkta9jjxguv.cloudfront.net/user_upload/marker/Downloads/THB_Marker_17-18_englisch.pdf). If you're really not confident or it doesnt look like it should, take it to a tech.
