question about bindings

I'm new to this but I have some classic skis and have broken the part
of the binding where my heel comes down. Is there any cheap fixes for
this and how crucial is this part of the binding?

It's important for gliding and setting up push off. You didn't say the
make and model of binding (racing, touring, auto, backcountry), but
typically the heel plate is a separate plastic piece from the toe clamp
and so can be replaced inexpensively. Shops always have heel plates
around. DIY repairs are sometimes possible, but if you have to ask
then it's much safer for the integrity of the binding to have a shop do
it.

I believe its a touring but I've been taking it up into the mts. which
is why its broken, I'll check some shops though its hard to find cross
country gear around here
