If you already have ten toes, you might consider getting some heels to match. The Dynafit binding heel pieces can be used to replace borked ones, build an unsanctioned super binding, or be stashed in your collection of other unusual parts. It's also not a bad idea to have a backup plan if you're planning an extended stay in a remote place. See the table below for details.
Please note that heel pieces are sold individually. If you have two feet, you might want two heels. Also, Dynafit does not include screws with all replacement heels as indicated in above table, but they can be found in our listing for parts.
* The Speed Radical heels are current and include the anti-rotation mechanism and reinforced roofs.
** The Radical ST/FT and Rotation 7 heels do not come with baseplates since those are integrated with the brakes.
*** Low Tech Race 2.0 Heels come in either green or red and your first choice of color may have already gone to the other skier.
*** PDG Heels come in either orange or blue and your first choice of color may have already gone to the other skier.
If you're looking to replace the roof of the FT heel then yes, as long as you have all the springs and other guts, the ST roof will indeed fit. However, looking at your photo, it is very possible that the screws holding on the roof broke inside of the plastic in the housing, in which case the heel is bunk and you'd need to replace the heel piece.

I have a pair of Beast bindings that I’d like to replace the heel with a radical tower and keep the Beast pivot toe, any issues with doing this?
AC- The beast and radical use different towers and base plates. They are not interchangeable.

Hi, I have an older binding and the plastic tab that holds the brakes out of the way broke off. I am thinking I can replace the whole heel piece but am not totally sure what the best bet is. Any advice much appreciated!
Hey Ben, this looks like the Dynafit Radical FT! You can purchase just a single heel turret from this listing and replace the broken one while using the existing brake/baseplate. You just need to remember the release value, unscrew the large silver cap completely, remove the springs and plastic thimble bushing, and pull up on the heel housing to remove!

Are the Dynafit PDG heels compatible with the Dynafit Speedfit toe piece?
Hey Aaron, the PDG heel/Speedfit toe combo would give you a -2.5mm ramp angle, which would be a little too far back on the heels for most folks. Consider running an LTR 2.0/PDG heel adjustment plate, which would add 5mm of thickness under the heel and give you a +2.5 mm ramp angle.

I Have a pair of Radical ST bindings dating from some time between 2011/2012 and 2015. The heel piece top plate is lifting off on of them, so I need to replace the entire heel turret, says Dynafit. I don't see it in your list of heel pieces. Is it possible to get this?
Hello Alain, thanks for reaching out! We've ordered more Radical ST heels, and they should be arriving in a few weeks. Sent us an email at help@skimo.co and we can set up an inventory notification for you!

I have an old pair of radical FTs and my heelpiece finally gave out. Can I just replace with the radical STs that you are currently selling? Thanks.
Jason, yes, they are interchangeable with a little bit of mechanical know-how! Radical ST and FT utilize the same heel piece.

Can I just buy at set of ST Radical heel pins, from the older black version that has integrated brakes to base plate?? The pins look to be about 2.5 inches long and have a ball at the back of heel piece to hold it in
Hey Ryan, sorry for the binding troubles! We have the Radical ST in stock right now, but not the Radical FT. The Radical FT 2.0 that is showing in the drop down menu currently is the newer generation.

Any problems running Dynafit Speed Radical heels with Kingpin toes?
Mike, people have been mixing toe and heel pieces together for years, without much issue. Toes do not have a release value, even the 6 spring Kingpin toes. So go for it. Myself and Skimo are not responsible for the contents of this comment!

I have Dynafit Expedition bindings - without rotation release at the heel. Can I replace the heel piece with a compatible heelpiece with rotation release?
Simon, Yes you can. You can use any of these and it will work fine. The toe piece with the Expedition is the Radical steel toe. The Speed Radical heel will give you a solid binding.
I happen to have a pair of Speed Radical toes, from late 2017. Any concerns with adding a pair of Speed Radical heels and making a full binding out of it?
Jeff M, thanks for your response! Another question, Im curious if the yoke piece from the Radical ST is the same as the Vertical ST, that way, I could swap out the broken.. Again, thanks for the advice!!

I broke the yoke piece on my Vertical ST bindings in addition to some plastic piece that didnt effect performance. With the yoke gone, the pins dont stay locked in my boot. Can i straight replace this older heel binding with the radical st version?
Jonah, The Radical heel will not work with the Vertical base plate. You would have to replace both. Then have a somewhat mismatched binding.

I ripped the rotating part off my dynamite rotation st 10 bindings.I need to replace the whole heal assembly.Are the brakes transferable?If not I will need a brake with the heal piece for a 105 mm ski.Do you have one?
Hi Brian, the heel housing and baseplate/brake are separate parts. Depending on your situation, you may be able to reuse one of those parts. You can e-mail us photos if you'd like specific assistance.

Hello - I have a pair of Radical 2.0's in 105. On one of them, the heel piece keeps working backward while skiing until the separation between the boot heel and the two prongs on the Dynafit heel piece gets so wide that the binding releases. When I then adjust the screw to move the heel back into place, it feels like there is little to no tension on the screw. It seems to be happening with only one of my two skis. Is this a known problem? Dynafit suggested I purchase a new baseplate. Do you agree?
Hi George, yes it sounds like something is broken in the baseplate/brake combo. Those are available here.

Hey,
Have a pair of fischer branded Dynafit Beast 16s, but just learned that I won’t be able to use the Hojis I was gifted with them. Would the radical 2 FT heel pieces work, or do you have another recommendation?
Hey Ned! That's a good gift! Not sure if the Beast 16 toe and Radical 2 heel have ever been "officially" cleared to work with one another. I suppose technically they would, but who knows what kind of release characteristics you'll end up with if you mix that combo, all I can do is speculate at this point.

Pico
Parts query: I just broke off the plastic "shelf" on a Dynafit Vertical heel piece. Dynafit says they have no spare parts available. Would you happen to have a Vertical heel piece for parts in your bone yard?
Hey Pico! Looks like we're out at the moment and probably for the foreseeable future. The good news is that we have a Used Dynafit Parts page that's worth keeping an eye on. Worst case, the Vertical heel hole pattern matches up with the Speed Radical and Speed Turn heel pieces so a full blown replacement wouldn't be the end of the world.
I have a broken Radical ST heel as in the picture. I would like to buy a replacement, but as far as I heard damages on this model are quite frequent. What other heel piece is compatible with this one? Thank you!
Hi Adrian, for the number of Radical ST bindings that have been sold over time, they actually have a decent track record of performance. The design and most of the bindings out there are getting on in age and are probably ready for retirement so it's not a shock when a heel breaks from time to time but the parts are still pretty available and worth replacing.
As for compatibility, there really isn't anything that's cross compatible as a drop in replacement/upgrade. Only the Radical ST heel pieces will be compatible with the base plate that you have pictured.

Hey, I have some old old Radical FT bindings, with the black plastic volcanos, and my heel piece broke. I would love to fix them, or jerry rig something by getting another headpiece which would be compatible. Any help? Screw pattern is the standard dynafit pattern, or something like that. Thanks!!
Hi Jake, if you mean Vertical FTs (the ones with volcanoes), you can get replacement roofs (speed or comfort plates) from B&D. Note you'll also need the volcanoes if you go with comfort plates. Other than that, you're looking at new heel pieces.
