Why won't My Marker Duke bindings release?. I have been running...

Why won't My Marker Duke bindings release?. I have been running Marker Dukes with Scarpa Denali AT boots for a few months but they will not release. I dropped the Din to 6 from my usual 8 to test them with no luck. The boot also takes lots of force to lock into the binding. I just blew my ACL on my last backcountry trip because of this problem. Any suggestions out there?

so is shaving the boot the only real option for making this boot/binding combination more compatible?

I to have the same problem (not toe release), same bindings and same boots. With the front plate wide open (to prove the point) and with a big gap the toe will still not release (DIN=8). IMHO... The binding design drives the whole boot forward when you clip in, with such force that the boot tip is driven into the binding toe. The friction between the boot tip and binding toe stops it releasing. My binding toe wings barely touch the boot toe. I plan to shave the front of my boots so the wings hold the boot in and not the boot tip. take a close look at yours. Any feedback?

Check the toe height on the binding...if the toe of the binding is coming down on the boot too much, then your rubber sole will definitely NOT be able to release because of too much friction
