“I am 72 years old and I have been skiing for 60 years. (Started later I know) . I have never really had any problems with my ski boots. My son, who works with zipfit, insisted I give the liners a try. What a game changer! It's like skiing in slippers but with full support. I have improved my skiing noticeably. They are so comfortable and responsive. Recommend them 100% . I ski more efficiently and with less effort. If you ski for fitness this is truly a game changer.”

“This is the single most significant upgrade so far of all my ski equipments. Prior to this, I have kept tuning my current set of boots, but it never works to the degree that I like. It is either too tight that my feet hurt so much at the end of the day, or it is too loose that won't hold my angle in place. Zipfit liner totally changed how I experience Ski now, I can just ski all day in this pair a liner with my old boots with comfort, warmth and solid control. My feet no long moves in the boot and they no longer hurt.”

Wow Xiaoxiong, thanks for the high praise! Warm, pain-free feet that stay locked in place when you ski all day is the goal so we're happy to hear that you achieved that feeling. Happy skiing for seasons to come!

“I just purchased the Gara HV ZipFit liners which are my 2nd pair of ZipFits over the last 10 years. They are by far the best ski boot liners I've ever had. They don't even come close to standard "store bought, out-of-the-box" boot liners. They are custom fit and because of the cork material, literally take the shape of your ankle, calf, and shin areas so that they truly fit like a glove and provide unbelievable comfort, warmth andhigh performance. Absolutely no "shin bang". The Customer Service is awesome too. You don't get a robot, recording or someone you cannot understand. You can email or call them and they respond immediately and provide excellent advice and guidance. They have excellent "how to" videos to fit the ZipFits yourself and how to add cork if necessary, which is fairly easy. I would very highly recommend ZipFits to anyone who loves skiing, wants a perfect fit, comfort, warmth, high performance, and excellent customer sevice.”

“I didn't want to part with $500, but my liners were packed out and I was getting pretty bad heal lift. I spoke to a few folks that had made the switch to ZipFit and they had nothing but praise. I made the leap and so glad I did. I love the fit, feels so locked in. I hope they last as long was everyone says they will, but lovin them right now!”

“Excellent liner! Game changer! Literally fits like a glove, I heated these up in the oven slightly, put them on and walked around in my boots for a bit, they are a perfect fit on one foot my smaller foot will need a little cork but 95% better fit already. I use them in both of my pairs of boots, my stiff 130's and my walkable 120's, great investment, love the improved edging on groomers and control in the bumps, trees, and crud. David NH”

“I have 12 ski days on my Gara HV. They have been a game changer. My OEM boot liners packed out after one season and I was getting heal lift in both boots. The Gara HV liner has stopped my heal lift problem. I did have to add additional cork after 7 ski days. But that is a small proce to pay for the increased boot performance I now have. I highly recommend Zipfit for those that want comfort and performance in a ski boot.”

“It took one year to convince myself that zipfit was the way to go. Read countless reviews and bought directly online - should of done it 5 years ago it completely improved my boot. No more heel lift, I had a pressure point on the right side of both my feet, guess what? Boom gone. And the liners are warm…Its honestly the best ski related purchase I’ve made. I have a gara HV in a cochise130”

“Having Raynaud's disease I'm extremely impressed how comfortable and warm the Gara HV liners are as I haven't had to use my heated ski socks unless it's very cold outside and from day one the liners are extremely comfortable without any pressure point adjustments to the cork including the cork tongue which doesn't aggrevate my eczema on my shins. From a performance perspective with my Tecnica MACH1 MV 130 shells I find I'm more centered in all turn shapes with progressive linear and dynamic responsiveness and control...it doesn't get any better than this! I'm a true believer in Zipfit products.”
