Leave it onminimu. Whenever they pop you out in a situation you think they sholdnt have - crank up +1 DIN both - back and front. It will take you few extra falls due too low din, but will do the job in the long run.

^^^DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS

Bindings are not things to mess with if you don't know shit about them. Also, how do you have bindings that are already set up on your ski (forward pressure to your bsl and toe height), but don't have the dins set? And that you've already been riding on for a season?

Go to a shop, for your own safety.

i Had them fitted for a diffrent boot. and now i got a new boot and i went out for the first time this year and i have like two little indents on my boots right above the heel piece. Is this something wrong with the binding or do like my boots not fit the binding... also i really dont want to pay to get them fixed at the shop ..i rather do them myself but if its that important ill take em to a shop

If you got them fitted originally for a different boot, chances are your new boot is a different shell size, and has a different sole length (BSL). Your bindings have to be readjusted and the forward pressure reset to accommodate the new size, and possibly your din setting to, as you'll have less leverage over the binding with a longer boot (lower din) and more with a shorter boot (higher din). Binding adjustment is not a repair by any means, that said, it is VERY important to get them set right. Most shops will either do it for free or like max $20.

Go online, look up your din on a marker chart.
Go online, look how to check forward pressure on squire
Go online, take practice test for binding tech certification for marker

OR

go to dump, pick up old tele skis

Both are good wins

You obviously have been skiing the wrong way for farther back than 2011.

your boot can be 1cm longer, as differs manufacturer. And that goes to 0.5 din Up or Down.

Read manuals, follow the rules, dont do anything yourself, that you could pay money for. Monkey army.
