Product catalog summary
Mounting Sitski on Skis with Wide Bindings
Boot Specifications: The boots used are 325 mm in length. The mounting process is similar to that of a shoe of the same length, ensuring the middle of the boot aligns with the ski marker.
Toe Piece Specifications: For safety, boots are equipped with toe pieces to prevent the toe from slipping out of the binding. The standard widths are:
  • 67mm (2.64 inches)
  • 73.5mm (2.89 inches)
  • Optional 77mm (3.03 inches)
Solutions for Wide Bindings:
  1. Remove the Toe Piece: Not recommended due to decreased safety.
  2. Use Wider Toe Pieces: Contact Tessier for options.
  3. Enlarge the Toe Piece: Use pliers to slightly open each side, but avoid over-expanding to prevent weakening.
  4. Cut the Sides of the Binding: Recommended solution when feasible.
Procedure for Cutting Binding Sides: Use a sander machine or a Stanley knife to remove approximately 2mm from each side. This is demonstrated with a Rossignol binding in the provided images.

The boots fitting the skis are 325 mm in length. Mounting is usually the same as for a shoe of an identical length: the middle of the boot must be aligned with the marker of the ski. For safety reasons, we equip our boots of toe piece in order to avoid the toe booting out of your binding. - These pieces were for many years 67mm wide (2,64”). - We also propose as an option 77mm ones. (3,03”). If your binding is too wide, 4 solutions: - removing the toe piece, but it decreases the safety... that’s not our favorite solution. - using wider ones. Contact us to get an offer. - enlarging the toe piece. With pliers, slightly open each side of the piece. Few mm are usually enough. Don’t go to far in order to avoid to weaken the piece. - cutting the sides of your binding. That’s the solution we recommend when it’s possible. Cutting the side of your binding The easiest is to use a sander machine. It can also be done with a Stanley knife. Most of time you need to remove about 2mm on each side.
