No, you have to use boots specific to those bindings. I'm not sure if you have Clickers, the old Switch step in's or something else but I can tell you it is going to be hard to find boots for them and you need to get rid of them! Step in's are outdated and can be unsafe. Flow and K2 make alternative's to these methods that allow you to use any brand of snowboard boot as well and get the performance and response you need.
Snowboard packages vary from company to company or shop to shop. But if you are going snowboarding then the least you should expect from a package is a snowboard and bindings. But if you take the time research you can also get some new boots for a little extra cost.
No, you need EST bindings for those boards. Look on burton.com for ones that fit. My GF just got the new Lexa EST Bindings and likes them a lot so far.
The bindings come with installation instructions, but if you got used bindings that didn't come with instructions... Quick question: are you putting these on new skis, or on skis that already have bindings on them? If they're old skis, remove the bindings already installed and use the old screw holes for the new bindings. If they're new skis, take them to a ski tech. You've got to drill holes in your skis and there are lots of calculations involved - how much you weigh, the skis being used and the way you ski determine where your boots should be on the ski.
There are many places where one can buy new Diesel boots. One can buy new Diesel boots at popular retailers such as Macy's, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue.
I'm not sure where you heard that K2 bindings have design flaws, but I wouldn't agree with that at all. Although I ride traditional strap bindings, K2 makes the Cinch which is their take on a Flow styled convenience binding. As for their regular traditional bindings, I would say that it depends on which model you're looking at. All brands make cheap $129 beginner bindings that are exactly that, for beginners.
You can buy a new pair of ski boots from evo.com They have videos about getting a new pair of ski boots and can teach you all the things you need to know about getting a new pair all for a reasonable price.
There are different types of binding for different types of skiing. Alpine ski binding fasten the boot to the ski at the heel and tow and allows the boot to release during falls. There are three Nordic binding systems for cross country skiing. Cross country skies usually slide a bar in the shoe into a catch.
Yes, but if you can afford either new skis or new bindings, get the new bindings because they'll keep you safer on the slopes.
A great place to get these boots would be Amazon. they will sell brand new boots, if you are looking to get used or also potentially new boots, you can also try EBay or Kijiji.
