    Do I need a Zipfit Ski Boot Liner?

    Do I need a Zipfit Ski Boot Liner?

    Zipfit make custom ski boot liners using the most premium materials available. Skiers report that using these liners creates greater comfort, enhanced performance and a liner that often outlasts the ski boot shell! It is not unheard of for Ski patrollers to put over 1000 days in their Zipfit liners. The question is “Do I need a zipfit liner in my ski boots?”

    👣 I personally took the plunge last winter and talk about what my experience was like and why I will always use a zipfit liner from now on. Tune in to find out more in this chat with Jeff Colt from Zipfit.
