I read about this years ago in a Powder magazine where they took a normal alpine boot and glued a vibram sole to the bottom, ( for hiking and what not)
AT boots are way to expensive and I like my full tilts too much
has anyone ever done this before
how do these soles hold up when used on snowmobiles? my boots are shredded from sledding
canting the soles of ski boots or adding shims is common for hi end racers - but the toe has to be ground down to fit the DIN standard size for the binding (toe height max & set 'square'). This maintains the safety of the release. And of course use enough stainless steel screws.
I haven't heard any physics or science on the grippy vibram sole other than posts that it works OK with the sliding afd's. I would suggest an inital test period and maybe turn the DIN down a notch.
chk if your binding is autofit or if you have to do a toe height ajustment....if the vibram is softer you may have to tight it up to avoid any wobble. Good luck.
