To use the Marker Kingpin bindings with boots that have shallow heel welts, you'll need this adapter. Four screws drill into your boot heel and hold it into place, adding only a few grams and making your lightweight boot compatible with this powerful pin tech/alpine hybrid binding. If you have any questions or are unsure about whether or not your boot requires this adaptor to fit the Kingpin M-Werks, feel free to email or call us and we will do our best to help you sort out what you should do.

Is there any kind of similar adapter for new Dynafit RidgePro? (I've use this discontinued one for years with Vulcans, TlT6's, and modified it for HojiPro's, but I don't see how to modify it for RidgePro's without destroying it's structural integrity.)

Hi John,
There isn't any comparable adapter for Ridge Pros unfortunately.

Looking to use an old pair of La Sportiva Siderals with Kingpin binding. Would this adapter be necessary or compatible? Do you have any more details / instructions for installation?
3/2/2023
Andrew, According to Marker, they say the Sideral is Not compatible.
Originally made just for the TLT 5 and 6 and Backland boots.

Hello, I'm trying to use my tlt6 with tectons so I'm wondering, 1) will this adapter work with tlt6? 2) will this adapter work with tecton? Thanks.
1/19/2023
Hi Dan,
Unfortunately, the Marker Kingpin Adapter will likely not work with the TLT6, and even if you are able to get the adapter on a TLT6 with modification, that is not an approved combination for the Fritschi Tecton.

Just FYI, according to Marker, this adapter is specifically for TLT 5 an 6. https://markerbindings.com/en-us/p/kingpin-boot-adapter---tlt. Might still not work with Tecton, but appears that it will work with TLT 6.

Will a marker kingpin 10 (2021) work with a Dynafit Hoji PU with master step, with or with or without an adaptor? Thank you.

Hello TB,
According to Marker, that binding will work with a Hoji PX without a Kingpin Adapter. However, that boot does not have a full heel welt, and we have been unable to test the compatibility to confirm. Furthermore, Dynafit states that this binding does not work with the Hoji PX Boot. Therefore, it would be at your discretion to use this combination.

Will this adapter work on the 21/22 Atomic Backland Pro Women's boot?
3/22/2022
Hi Ashley. This adapter will work with that particular boot. Do be aware you won't be able to swap between the Kingpin and a regular pin-style tech heel as this adapter will only work with the Kingpin.

Hey there, if I install these on my Atomic Backland Carbon boots for use with marker kingpins, will they sill fit in my dynafit ST radical bindings on my other set up?

Hi Ben, a previous version of this adapter would allow for that, but sadly it's now a one-way conversion.

I was wondering if this is compatible with the TLT 7? Also is this one adapter or does it come in a pair?
11/22/2021
Hi Chris,
The Dynafit TLT 7 has a Masterstep insert in the heel, which means that this adapter is not compatible. Additionally, Marker officially states that the Dynafit TLT 7 is not compatible with the Kingpin binding. If you have any further questions, reach out to us at help@skimo.co!

Are these needed to use the TLT 7 Expedition boots with the Kingpin bindings?
Marker says its for the TLT 5 & 6, but doesn't mention the TLT 7. Looks like the heel welts are pretty shallow on the 7's too.
