You Drive Three Hours to See a Bootfitter!?!

So what's wrong with DIN?

Standing on top of a narrow plank will ALWAYS be more difficult to make comfortable than standing on top of a sole footprint that is as wide as most human feet are. Also puts you farther away from the surface of the ski. Companies are already introducing wider DIN boots and bindings. It will someday be the next "big" thing in design advancement after shaped skis, wider skis, and rocker options.

I get that. I thought there was a newer way to measure binding retention.

The term "DIN" is also used in reference to the standardized width of ski boot toe and heel lugs and binding claws.
