ZipFit Liners & Custom Footbeds

ZipFit says yes, for two reasons: they "position your foot correctly so that your ski boots don't cut off circulation to your feet," which ZipFit calls "the single best thing you can do to keep your feet and toes warm," and the toe box is built from neoprene, merino wool and Thinsulate for a warmer fit than conventional foam liners.

No. ZipFit's OMFit cork composite "does not compress," so the fit stays consistent and the liners won't pack out. By contrast, ZipFit notes a foam liner "may loosen significantly in as little as 20 ski days." You can also add cork to the ankles or tongue later to fine-tune the fit.

ZipFit says yes: "we highly recommend using a good over the counter orthotic or custom foot bed in your ZipFits," because ZipFits keep your foot and leg in position and the right footbed helps immensely. We fit ZipFits with our Boot Doc × Ridgeline Step-In footbed: easy on and friction free.

ZipFit says it comes down to preference. Leather-lined ZipFits give the most precise, true-to-form fit but need to be laced and stepped into the shell before each use. Neoprene-lined ZipFits are easier to step into and have more natural cushioning, with a slightly more forgiving feel.

In ZipFit's words: the Gara is the all-mountain signature liner (LV = less cork for lower-volume fits, HV = more cork); the Freeride is the benchmark of all-day comfort with a fluted cuff; the Corsa is race-inspired, with the stiffest cuff and lowest profile; and the Workhorse is built for skiers who work in their boots, "120 days on snow." Come in and we'll fit you, or take ZipFit's fit quiz first.

Yes. ZipFit says its liners can outlast your shells, and you can re-warm them so they fit your new shells. We do the heat molding in our boot shop.

We size the liner to your shell, warm and fit it with your Ridgeline Step-In footbed in place, and check heel hold and pressure points before you leave. Book a boot-fitting session online or call (208) 376-9240.

ZipFit says each pair is handmade in Montebelluna, Italy, so small cosmetic imperfections (glue marks and the like) are normal and don't affect performance.

ZipFit says tele skiers do well with them, often in the Freeride and Workhorse for their fluted cuff. They're designed for skiing, so snowboarders can find success but should expect to make modifications.
