Most ski touring bindings have heel lifters. The exceptions to this are ultra-light race bindings and old-fashioned bindings from the days of the ski touring pioneers.

Constantly adjusting the heel lifter height interrupts your rhythm when walking and takes up a lot of time. High heel lifters also shorten your stride length. In practice, ski tourers must independently determine when a change is needed and efficient as they all have their own preferences with regard to heel lifter heights.
