The gw model is compatible, I don’t even think they’ve made a non gw 12 recently but I could be wrong

Do you have the older ones with the screw that you move between alpine and wtr?
it’s my understanding that the sole is different than GW so no but I could be wrong.

yeah, didn’t realise they had been updated a bit. coming off some older skis I don’t really have a use for to go on new skis.
Ill probably just buy some alpine soles.

Every recent pivot bindings are gripwalk compatible, from what i understood, gripwalk fit the same as classic flat alpine soles once in the binding, just comfier to walk around off the skis, WTR tho... it needs some specific settings.

No you actually can use GripWalk soles on the WTR versions, I found this out this past season myself. The AFD needs to be in the “alpine” position for GripWalk soles according to the Look manual.

Sorry, just to reiterate, the gripwalk works when i’m wtr but look tells you to put it in alpine?

I sell the GW AFD's in my shop which you can swap very easily yourself, assuming I read correctly and you have the alpine/wtr toe piece with the flip switch. You just pop out the flip switch and the GW afd has a nub that fits where the switch was. That's what I would do, those WTR toe plates with the moving AFD were garbage and will probably fail at some point anyway.

Yes you should be in alpine according to Look, but also just do what nasty said

You can run Gripwalk soles on the Alpine setting but I recommend getting a Gripwalk AFD
