“When I first heard about these, I thought there might be a bit of hype. I was dead wrong. This is THE best heel retention I have ever had with my low volume foot. Even if I try to raise my heel, I cant. Because of the cork material and the ability for it to not only continuously mold to your foot/shin, but also the liners capacity to keep taking more cork over the days, months and years. Not to mention the durability of this liner which will outlast others on the market at minimum 3-5x over. The reality is that with a EVA foam heat moldable liner it will pack out quickly and it’s not like you can hope to mold it again for more retention…in fact the opposite will happen. With a foam injection liner you only have one shot at getting it right, and it will still break down. With the zipfit you can just add more cork, and boom, back to feeling like you just stepped into a brand new perfectly molded liner. What’s even better is that I’m not giving up a thing when it comes to comfort in these liners despite the performance. This is the most comfortable and warm my feet have ever been in a ski boot. I can’t recommend these liners enough. They’ve literally changed my skiing. Thank you for making an insanely great product.”

“Zipfit single handedly saved my ski season. Allowing me to stay in my current shells and enhancing the amount of performance I get out of my skiing. As someone with a low volume foot, the ability to add cork has helped tremendously with getting my "skinny foot" to feel locked in.”

“I picked up a pair of these in Jackson in 2015. No boot ever worked for me, I tried sizing up and down , squeezing my feet ungodly amounts, foam, intuition... and then I tried these. I could ski a 315mm boot as a size 10.5 men’s shoe finally and feel my toes while still having all the ankle and heel retention needed! After 5 years of the gara I finally replaced them with a new pair. Not because they are finished, but because I bought a Lange XT140 touring boot and put my old zip fits into them! These can make a touring boot feel like a full on downhill charger. Now that the liner is really broken in, it’ll have sufficient ankle articulation for touring and my new liner will be ultra strong for my downhill boot. Where the black power material comes down to on the gara seems perfect for touring. I recently inserted more cork into my old liner and it felt years newer ;) - Giray Dadali”

“I think I’m a prime example of how good these inserts are. I’m a big guy, 6,1, 250lbs. I ski really hard for someone my size. I have flat, wide feet, and have always struggled with foot pain when skiing. This week I was in Utah, first day we were there I had aching feet and numbing. My Rossignol boots were expensive, and I’ve only put 30-50 days on them, so the shells were in great shape. However I pack out my liners really quick, because of my size, and how I ski. I went to the sports den in SLC, and a guy recommended your inserts. I said screw it, they’re expensive, but comfort is priceless, especially with how pricey skiing is in general. The rest of the week I was in pure bliss, I’ve never felt more comfortable and connected in a boot. I skied 8 days straight with zero pain, and I can’t wait to get back in them and buckle em down hard. Thank you guys These inserts are priceless”
