keenwesh Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 yo, just posted these pictures on FB before realizing that no one will help me on there. I've got fucking massive feet. it sucks. I just got a pair of Baruntses and am fitting them to my approach skis. I can get them on, but they are so maxed out that the binding won't sit flush on the ski. Anyone have an idea to make them work? If I got a new toe bail that let the boots sit a few MM farther forward that would work. same thing with a slightly longer heel piece. I could just cut the wire thing off entirely, but would run into the same issue with the heel lifter for skinning up steep stuff. Foot binding? amputate a toe or 10?

wfinley Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I once attempted the very same thing you're attempting and after multiple attempts in my to bend a new toe bail I ended up just searching around till I found a pair of 500s. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 the 500's fit bigger boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfinley Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It was some time ago but I think for me it was simply a matter of going from M to L. Supposedly Silvretta 500 L fits a sole length of 12-3/8" - 14-3/8" - couldn't tell you if that differs for the 300s or 404s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I've got L bindings. I can't find specific stats between the 404's and 500's but I'd assume that they're the same adjustability range. I wear size 49s, mondopoint 31.5. Super fucking shitty. I'll keep fucking with it. How bad would it be to file down the plastic heel piece of the 404s? I just need 4 mm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBo6 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Could you swap on a different type of heel bail? From some type of crampon maybe, or even a snowblade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Got them to work. Took a knife and cut about a cm off the plastic heel of the binding. su-weet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
