I just got my bindings fitted by my local ski shop. I was checking them out today and noticed that when my boot is resting on the binding the heel sort of floats as it’s caught by the heel piece. It can click in and everything, but it takes a bit of force to push the heel down into position. I never really paid attention to if this happened with any of my previous skis and I’m not sure if this is normal.

This is normal, Markers forward pressure is weird to adjust. There should be a screw in the back of the heel, near the baseplate. When your boot is clicked in, the screw should be flush with the plastic surrounding it

Yes again. Please don’t think I’m one of those people that walk into a shop dead set on getting full tilts. They just happen to fit me better than the il moro 90’s.
