Are there any boots on the market that are compatible with regular bindings that have walk/hike mode?

Not seeing any, all say only compatible with touring specific bindings like these.

pretty much every company has something like what youre looking for. Some boot companies even have DIN certified swappable soles so you can switch between tech/pin bindings and downhill bindings.

As others have said there are plenty of boots like you are describing. My personal favourite is the Waymaker Carbon. Check out my review of them

I had thought they would work with regular bindings, I only asked because of what these characters have in their description.

The 110 waymakers are what I am looking at.

That is the touring version you want the freeride version like I posted above. The soles are interchangeable any way but unless you plan on doing mostly touring I would get the non tour versions.

pagin skierman to the level 9 clueless custy courtesy phone
ive been skiing at boots and soles on occasion in regular binders for a decade and 1/2 they are often compatable but not to din cert specs
l9 also carries a head cube boot that lets you easily walk then locks when the boot is inserted into a binder
but you loose gnar points for not looking like your ready to slay the bc sick gnar

Why would you want AT boots with regular bindings? It kind of defeats the purpose of an AT binding

if you can have a boot which is easy to hike in when you need to but will ski everything else just as well why wouldn't you want that?

Lots of people need to ski multiple pairs of skis with only one pair of boots. Hybrid type DIN soled touring boots means you can ski a frame style touring set up just as well as a resort or park set up without needing multiple pairs of boots.
