Replying to Gripwalk boots with regular bindings
Edit: I'm dumb lol ignore this post
So I decided to go buy some new boots today, and wanted them to work with the bindings that I had, but I didn’t know much about them. I told the bootfitter that I needed the boots to work and he reassured me that all alpine boots work with all alpine bindings. After trying a few boots I settled on the Dalbello panterra 120, and gave my skis to the shop to set the bindings to the right size and release check them. After I got home I saw a pamphlet on gripwalk in the box with the boots and decided to do some research. And everything I have found says that my older bindings (rs11 and attack13) aren’t compatible with gripwalk soles. Is this just a money grab by binding companies to make you upgrade? Or is there a legitimate safety issue. Would you guys expect shop techs to know what is and isn’t compatible? I don’t really want to return the boots because they fit great but also don’t want to spend a bunch on new bindings.
