Alpine boots according to ISO 5355 (please note that there is Type A = adults and Type C = children) work perfectly with bindings according to DIN ISO 9462. Touring ski boots must meet ISO 9523 in order to be suitable for bindings according to ISO 13992. In addition to touring and alpine ski boots, there are also GripWalk boots, which in future will meet their own ISO standard.
