Randy Kight Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Can any of you Zip Fit guys tell me if Zip Fit liners only come in "whole" sizes, which was explained to me as 26.5, 27.5, etc.? If I was to go this route, I would assume I would need what I've always used in other liners, and that would be a 27.0. Current boot shells max out at 27.5, but are marketed as 27.0 (Raichle/Deeluxe). And...if anyone can recommend a good place to buy, this would also be helpful.

daveo Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Mountain Slope shell size C (28), Zipfit GP 27.5. Foot dimensions: L length: 27.7cm L width: 10.5cm L room behind heel: 1 finger R length: 27.9cm R width: 11cm R room behind heel: 0.75 finger Forefoot is neoprene, not foam, so is way more flexible.

slapos Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I have same shell as Dave, but my feet are little big bigger. I have put in C shell 28.5 zipfit grand prix liner. For zipfit in US I think you can go straight to zipfit or use one of their dealers. Not sure where you live but there was quite a few of them http://www.zipfit.com/zipfit-dealers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 35 minutes ago, slapos said: I have put in C shell 28.5 zipfit grand prix liner. Hmmm, we couldn't get a 28.5 liner into my shells. Crumpled up in the toe area with or without my foot in it. I guess after molding yours, the fit adjusted somewhat. Just did some measurements: The outside of my Zipfits and they measure 28.5cm (if I put the heel on the ground with the toe facing up and then measure the base up to the toe). The inside of the MS shell C is 28.2cm, at the longest possible path (seems to be top of toe box to middle bottom heel where the spring is mounted). 31 minutes ago, slapos said: Not sure where you live but there was quite a few of them http://www.zipfit.com/zipfit-dealers/ I just did a rough search on all of the US dealers and only 2 actually came up with the ability to purchase. USD430. Jesus that's spicy. Mine cost AUD499 (~USD300) including fitting and a few boot mods. Maybe it helps that the guy who did my boots actually personally knows Sven Coomer? Sven is Aussie, too. OtherZzipfits in Australia are AUD499-599 without fitting, though. My fitter showed me his boots. He has a Zipfit prototype from 15 years ago in them and they're still going strong.

slapos Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 according to Mountain slope C shell has 290 mm of space inside. that's why they recommended them for me instead of going one size up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveo Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) That's weird. My boot doesn't have even close to 290mm inside. Measured mine again coming out to 282mm. Bootboard slightly shorter. Maybe the shell sizes are slightly different from different years I'm sure after molding yours fit perfectly, though!
