I wish we knew more about the ankle bone issue. My first thinking was that adding cork was the wrong way to go and that punching out the shell would have been a much better solution. However, fixing the heal lift would be the first problem to address, perhaps the ankle might be sorted out to some degree with the heal lift fixed.

What model of ZipFit liner does Giray Dadali ride? I'm looking for an extremely aggressive and stiff setup, maximal heel and ankle hold, and a liner that takes up volume in a 98mm last boot. I currently ride Daleboot Gambits and Head Formula 130 RS LV boots. Would very much appreciate some guidance. Thanks 🙏

Quesion: for the Fischer RC4 Pros, is it still the best practices to put on the liner first then get into the shell all together, or is it okay to leave the liner in and put on the boot like other regular boots?
@Bassmachine8647 ай бұрын
You will want to take out the liner, put your foot in and then get into the shell. The reason being is that the cork will tend to move less this way than the other.

Can I use the Corsa lace kit on my Gara LVs? The laces aren't great, I agree - and the locking mechanism is particularly not fantastic (it works, but is fiddly to get tight and locked) - if these laces are better, can I just retrofit a Corsa lace kit from the online store to my garas and get the better lacing experience you talk about here? :)

Zipfit liners - best invest in ski equipment I ever made. It took a bit of doing to find the right shell because my calves are larger than average and low set. My Zipfit low volume Gara liners took up too much space in a Solomon s/Pro 130 as well as a. Nordica Speedmachine 120. I couldn’t get the upper boot bucked with the Zipfits. I pulled out a 4yr old pair of Atomic Hawx Prime 120s. The Gara LV liners work very well in those and after two days of skiing in them they’re easily the most comfortable setup I’ve used that’s also high-performance. Great heel retention and very responsive.

What stops the cork pushing out thru the ports whilst under pressure from the feet & skiing?

It's a long port and the cork composite is not viscous as much as it is malleable.

The GFT is described as low volume. If you add more cork to the ankles, will it transform to fit a mid volume shell?
@zipfit96919 ай бұрын
Great question, you can adjust the fit by adding more cork. We intend this process to be "spot fitting" meaning adding cork to specific voids in your fit. That said, if you add a couple of grams to each ankle pouch and closer to a full tube of cork (15g per tube) to each tongue, that will build the GFT out to work in a higher volume shell. I would recommend making small changes to one line and comparing the fit to the other liner, using one as a control and one as an experiment.

I had the ''original'' zipfit in the late 70's Nordica Tempest, loved it, one of the all time best fitting boots I eve had. I skied that boot so hard for so long it fell apart. My next Nordica GP's I put in zipfit (in the 90's) and could never get them right, go figure, I understand zipfit are very boot volume sensitive.

Thanks for doing this video Jeff. I am very intrigued in getting a zip fit. I did the recommendation on the website, however would go to a true fitter for it because I have a difference of almost 1/2 a size between my right and left. Have had surgeries on both and now not just heat molding doesn't take care of everything. Intuition is great, however you can't add like with the cork. Currently my left is great with just heat molding of liner and shell and now my right has the heat molding, j bars, and duct tape to fill up space. Granted they work and feel great but once they pack out, I will just keep adding to them. Zipfit may be my answer? And huge calves doesn't help either. Both of these liners are my recommended liner on the website but the free ride seems to be a better fit for me as I'm just a recreational skier.
