Can you mix and match toe and heel piece for bindings?

I have two sets of bindings, I want to use the heels from one set and the toes from the other. Will this work? Is this recommended? Thanks!

It depends on the bindings.. But probably yes it would work.

By "yes" you mean "no" right?
If it's the same style (even if it's a different brand, but the same mold) you can mix them, other than that, no you can't. For example, you can mix an FKS heel set with a Pivot toe, even though they're different companies, the bindings both come from the same mold. However, you can't mix say a Marker Griffon toe set with Look PX12 heels or something like that.
What bindings are you trying to mix?

Mixing bindings is really a terrible idea, unless they're identical bindings that have been re-branded. The major reason being that bindings are engineered as a unit, not as independent heel and toe piece assemblies. I'd really stay away from mixing bindings..

Ok, they are a pair of ficher fx 12 heels and rossi ft toe. pretty similar. I'll let the shop tech take a look.

Feel free to have a tech look at them...but I'm almost 100% sure they wont work. Fischer and Rossi don't use the same mold for any of their bindings (Fischer is more closely related to the tyrolia mold - not sure that it's the exact same mold - while Rossi uses the Look mold).
