A set of three wedge-shaped shims per ski carefully designed to integrate the fit of free heel Nordic Norm, Three Pin, or 75 Millimeter ski boots to their bindings and skis. The front wedge-shaped shim allows the binding toepiece to slope upward to meet the boot's rocker shaped toe. The middle wedge-shaped shim supports the binding mid-foot plate (if so fitted) or the ball-of-the-foot boot sole. The rear wedge-shaped shim allows the binding heel plate to slope upward to meet the boot's heel. These three wedge-shaped shims are mounted between the (1) toepiece, (2) mid-foot plate (if so fitted) or ball-of-the-foot boot sole, (3) heel plate and the ski top respectively. The binding components are therefore fitted to the ski boot's rocker shaped sole and ski top. This allows the ski boots a perfect fit when clipped into the binding/wedge-shaped shim/ski system. This gives the skier maximum ski control, comfort, power and endurance while eliminating unwanted stress on the boot, binding, fasteners, and ski top.
