A salesman told me that these boots will work in downhill ski bindings, cross country and on AT bindings. Is that true?

i would disagree - they will work in a downhill binding but you should get the Alpine sole blocks to make the toe height match the standard for downhill bindings. http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Shiva-Alpine-Sole-Block/BLD0437M.html Also they will not work in a cross country binding. Depending on the binding you would need a 75mm duck bill for 3 pin bindings or one of the boots in this category http://www.backcountry.com/store/group/15/Touring-Backcountry-Ski-Boots.html . That being said with this boot and an AT binding you can do something very similar to cross country skiing. The set up would just be heavier but much better on the downhill. But this boot won't fit all 3 binding types.
