Sole of ski boot worn down
I've had my current boots for about 6 seasons, and I'm quite happy with them. Recently I've noticed that the toe of the boot has worn down enough that I can move my boot inside the toepiece of the bindings. Is there any adjustment I can make to either the boot (Salomon) or the binding (Marker) that can correct this problem, short of buying a new pair of boots?
Thanks.

This one's a gem.

I come up hard, baby but now I'm cool I didn't make it, sugar playin' by the rules
If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

take it into a decent ski shop, they will know what to do, usually involving grinding if flat and screwing plastic shims on as a new boot base, at least that is what has kept my boots alive for this long

grinding the boot and plates are $100ish FYI:

Thanks, I appreciate the input.
I guess it's either the vibram do it yourself or a new pair of boots...

There's an easy tweak you can make to your bindings that will help keep you in: throw them the fuck away and buy some Looks or Rossis.
