You can consider it almost certain that you won't need to remount the
bindings when you get new boots. Modern bindings are so adjustable --
and so easily adjustable -- that you probably won't need more than a
flat screwdriver bladed to change the position of the bindings to fit
your new boots (whenever you get them).
