Product description

The mission was simple: make the best touring liner possible.

The ZipFit Espresso is lighter weight for longer ski tours and high alpine expeditions. This is the culmination of years of design and testing with the world’s best ski mountaineers. At half the weight of a standard ZipFit, the Espresso will give you some pep in your step and keep your touring boots locked in for seasons to come.

What is Mondo sizing? Mondo sizes correspond to foot length in cm.

HOW TO FIND YOUR MONDO POINT SIZE
Stand on top of a piece paper with your heel against a wall and all of your weight pressed down upon the foot you are measuring. Then, draw a line at your big toe or the longest point on your foot (we see you Morton's toe). Measure in centimeters the length of the paper to the line, and that is your mondo point size. Measure both feet, and size to the smaller foot.

Product details

In keeping with the DNA of our alpine innerboots, the flexible foam toe box of the Espresso still allows the forefoot to splay comfortably while also drying out quickly. A Moccasin toe box- tongue integration removes seams over the instep and our signature asymmetrical tongue provides the best interaction with the shin. Espresso innerboots are still fully customizable with cork ports for each ankle pouch and tongue. An innovative cuff pocket allows skiers to adjust the volume of the cuff by adding a spoiler without creating friction points within the boot.

Fit considerations

In a world dominated by gram-counting, we wanted to make sure the fit of the Espresso came first. We did not try to save weight by reducing the amount OMfit cork in the Espresso, instead we fine-tuned the amount of cork to work best of ascending and descending in progressive touring boots. The Espresso is best-paired with touring boots in the ~1000-1250g weight category. Skiers can always add more cork (sold separately) to the tongue or ankle pockets to dial in their perfect fit.

The Espresso features a rear cuff pocket constructed of two-directional stretch Kevlar. Included with the liner is a HDPE foam volume reducer (best inserted when the liner is off the foot). The rear liner loop pulls down to open the pocket and the HDPE shim will form to the shape of your leg. When lacing up the Espresso, store the excess lace in the Kevlar cuff pocket.

Can I use ZipFits for Tele boots?

Yes! Tele skiers appreciate the benefits of ZipFits as much as anyone, especially the flexible and comfortable toe box. The GFT is a good option due to the flex panels for lower volume tele boots. We also commonly recommend the Freeride and Workhorse due to their fluted cuff which allows for a larger range of motion for dopping knees.

Do ZipFits work in Snowboard boots?

ZipFits are designed for the forces and fit requirements of skiing. We see plenty of snowboarders find success, but one should expect to make modifications to achieve their desired fit.

What’s better: leather or neoprene?

At all comes down to user preference.

  • Step in
  • Heel hold
  • Cushion

Are you willing to lace up your liners and step into your shells before every use? Our leather lined ZipFits require this move, while our neoprene lined ZipFits are easier to step into. If your answer is “no way” – we suggest the neoprene ZipFits.

Leather offers a true to form fit meaning your ankles and shinbone will imprint into the leather, securing your lower leg and foot to the ultimate degree.

Neoprene has more natural cushioning, so while you can still get an excellent fit, they have a more forgiving feel when skiing.

Both interior liners can last a LONG TIME with proper care. While we think of leather as more durable, we know of a pair of neoprene liners with 1500 ski days.

For precision fit and performance, the leather has a slight advantage.

For ease of use and all mountain comfort, the neoprene has a slight edge.

I noticed some imperfections on my liners. Is this normal?

Each pair of ZipFits are handmade in Montebelluna, Italy. As they are not mass produced, it’s fair to expect some small imperfections with glue, etc. This will not effect the performance of the liners. Each pair is unique and made with love.

Should I use footbeds in my ZipFits?

Yes, we highly recommend using a good over the counter orthotic or custom foot bed in your ZipFits. ZipFits are designed to keep your foot and leg in the proper position within a boot, having the correct footbed for you will help immensely.

Should I buy an OMFit kit with my ZipFits?

For most skiers, this is not necessary, which is why we don’t include the cork kit with purchase. Some skiers find they want to add cork to their liners during the initial fit, some want to add cork after two seasons, and some never add cork to their ZipFits.
