I've finally managed to move all my bindings over to GW compatible bindings (Pivot 14s), now my only question is can i just buy the GW soles for my Full Tilt FC10s and go straight to riding? Or is there adjustment that needs done?

If those bindings have a toe height adjustment, you should check that for sure.

This is what I have on all of my skis. Not sure if there is a toe height adjustment. Not my area of expertise.

Yep, with GW pivots there’s no adjustment needed. I have a pair of Ascendants and a pair of Seth Morrison’s and I can click in with both boots since they’re the same BSL. I tested mine to make sure they were good but there’s no AFD adjustment needed!

Awesome, one of my buddies switched to GW and was telling me how amazing they are to walk in vs. regular flat soles. Guess I'll find out shortly.

Honestly, for me, I really like GripWalk (and WTR for that matter) and it will be on all of my boots that have replaceable soles. So much better to walk, hike, scramble with GripWalk than a solid soled race boot or replaceable ISO 5355 sole.
