Great review. And great to see the new videos!
Thanks Paul, appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed it. I wish we had more time to create a lot more videos, but I do have a few good ones lined up for this season so keep watching and please subscribe and click through to the written reviews as well.
@@Backcountryskiingcanada cool, and will do!
Don't be fooled by the declaration of sole width, just try it! I have wide feet and I've toured with boots that should supposedly have wider soles than this Tecnica, however, this boot proved to be way more comfortable and accommodating for my foot. It really is a great boot and a joy to ski down hill AND tour uphill in. Great boot, excellent quality!
Could not agree more Samo, thanks for your thoughts and comments I am sure everyone appreciates the input!
How wide are you feet in the widest part if I may ask? Went with hoji free 130 last year as it’s supposed to be wider but they are from pebax so cannot be properly heat molded (I suffered in them)… looking at these as replacement but don’t want to make the same mistake twice
@@mettflow2648 The widest it gets is on my right foot, just over the pinky finger and that's 10.7cm. Measured in the store where I bought the boot. With that being said, my foot volume is quite low despite being wide, so do make sure the boot fits you well. Good luck!
Amazing boot, super comfortable; very responsive; walk mode feels better than my leather hikers; warm; great on long tours in the woods or ripping groomers with the race kids. A struggle to get on or off (possibly due to stiffness, overlap construction and how nicely they fit) have had one durability issue- black plastic tabs at rear of boot between liner and shell have both broken, probably from levering them backward in walk mode to extract my feet. Doesn’t seem to have affected performance though. Top model was expensive but don’t think I’ll ever buy another boot again. I have approx 40 days on them and give them an 11/10.
Thanks for the feedback and your experience with the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Boots, couldn't agree more! They are a great lightweight touring boots that also ski the hill well. Glad they are working for you.
These look great, good review.
They do look great and ski/climb even better.
I have these boots with the Salomon SHIFT and Atomic Backland 100 skis. I love the set up, love the boots. I had a pair of Atomic Hawx 130 boots but they never worked with my feet even after 7 boot fittings. The Evo Portland shop guarantees their fit and replaced the Hawx with the Zero Gs. For me it was a huge improvement in fit and backcountry comfort and performance.
Wow, that is a great boot-fitting guarantee. I have to agree, the Hawx, felt too much like an alpine boot with a walk mode where as the Zero G boots are all about pure touring!
I have these boots and love them. The only downside I find is that the powers trap has a hard time staying tight. Besides that, and having them punched twice (I have one foot larger than the other) I have some big days on them and they're a quiver killer boot
Thanks for the insight on your experience with the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Boots. We have not seen that issue to date and so far they have been performing very well. Having different sized feet is part of being human, we all have that issue to some degree or another, glad you could resolve it with a few punches, the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Boots are super easy to boot fit so it sounds like you picked the right boot! Enjoy them.
I had the same issue on my tecnica Cochise light boots I got last year. They use the exact same power strap and it came loose resp. stayed in the position and would not be able to micro adjust. I eventually replaced it with a booster strap.
@@roccorallye8923 Same here
Thanks for the great review!
Is this compatible with the latest model (2021-2022) Marker Kingpin 10/13?
I don’t have this boots here but my friend said that the toe touches the some part of Kingpin and it pops out when walk mode.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, all of the Zero G boots are certified to the ISO 9523 standard, and will therefore work with MNC bindings like the Salomon / Atomic SHIFT, Marker I.D. bindings, Tyrolia AAAttack 14 AT, Marker Kingpin and Fritschi Tecton.
The issue you are referring to that your friend is having occurs on boots that have a more rounded and protruding nose on some boots and this can touch and activate the toe release lever on some bindings and force it from lock mode (while walking) into ski mode or even a full release by pushing it fully down. See our review of the Kingpin bindings here and you can see a picture of what I am referring to (it is the 6th picture down): www.backcountryskiingcanada.com/Marker-Kingpin-M-Werks-12-Binding I've not had this experience with the new Zero G Tour Pro Boots, however.
He should get that looked at by a qualified ski tech to ensure the binding is working properly and what exactly the issue is as that should not be happening.
Wao, what a quick and great response!
As you mentioned what my friend tried to fit was not Zero G Tour Pro, it was Coches 130 which has more round and protruding toe shape.
Since a last of Zero G Tour Pro and Coches are totally different, I think Zero G Tour Pro is totally fine with Kingpin.
I’ll tell him try this boots, thank you again!
@@gakdef6330 You bet, glad to help. The Zero G series of boots are made for touring so I would have been surprised to learn that they were the issue. Glad to have solved the mystery! Hopefully he like the Zero G Boots, they are awesome boots!
I’ve had two pair. Both leaked right from the beginning. I don’t have to buckle them down very tight because they are snug even after heating up the liner. That might have something to do with it. I’ve used silicone but it only last for one or two times.
Hey Corey, sorry to hear this - this has not been our experience. Were these both the new version of the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Boots? And where exactly did they leak?
@Backcountry Skiing Canada they leak right up front where the toe dam is. I’m thinking that it’s because I’ve had both 1st and 5th metatarsals punched. Nothing huge. My latest ones I got last fall and I think I noticed a new snow dam. They still leak. I pull the liners after every ski. Still love them.
@@coreymclernon Glad to hear that they still work for you - I've not heard of them ever leaking.
nice review thanks! would have been good to mention the soles are non replaceable!
Glad it worked for you, good comment, thanks for including that!
Spoilers shims I used for shin cushion as I felt that I don't have quite enough cushion there. Hard boot to get into, liner out job for me every time. Very tight and precise fit after heat molding the shell, skis great! Liner is quite thin compared to alpine boots, but still OK and comfortable. Strap locking could be better, it can get loose over time. Hard to find boots that ski as good and are as light.
Light and ski well for sure. The liners on most light weight touring boots are thinner to save on weight and at a 99mm last these boots will fit tight if you have a wider foot.
@@Backcountryskiingcanada I don't have a lot of volume in my feet, but one spot that is wide outside after pinky toe. After molding the boot from there the fitment was much tighter (better) than with let's say 102mm boot to start with. So I think a good call from them to start with quite narrow base. Grilamid required a little more temperature than on "officially" moldable boots, but worked great.
@@randomtech4566 Glad to hear it all worked out and they now fit you, they do make those shells mouldable in several locations
@@Backcountryskiingcanada Any differences in pro model inline v the neon lime model from prior seasons? Tks, saw some for a good price near me... but want to know any differences
@@kerrymccarth If you are talking about the most recent version which is more yellow than lime in colour: www.backcountryskiingcanada.com/Tecnica-Zero-G-Tour-Pro-Boots then no real difference other than cosmetics, but if you are talking about the more lime version from five years ago: www.backcountryskiingcanada.com/Tecnica-Zero-G-Guide-Pro-Boots then the new Zero G Tour Pro is a huge upgrade in every respect.
How well these perform for just recreational resort skiing? I am a big tall guy and was thinking to buy just one pair for east coast and only a week skinning in the Rockies?
Because of their overlap construction they perform very well for both resort and backcountry skiing and with a 130 flex they are plenty stiff for what ever you throw at them. They would be an ideal single pair of boots for both kinds of skiing.
I have them as a single boot for both touring and resort and so far they are great.
Took them on one tour
and just recently took them on their first resort day and the continuous downhill performance seemed fantastic.
does not feel compromised at all when getting multiple laps in. Also as he said, it's an amazingly easy boot to walk in once in walk mode, feels like hiking boots so has been great for the après lodge activities ha
@@moopuna Thanks for your feedback Scott, glad to hear that they echo my thoughts as well. They really are a great one-boot-quiver as they do it all, give the huge cuff rotation and stiff fleece rating. Glad you like them and perform as promised!
Do these fit with the salomon s/lab shift MNC 13? I've been told different things by different shops.
Andrew, All of the Zero G boots have rockered, non-replaceable Vibram rubber soles that are certified to the ISO 9523 standard, and will therefore work with MNC bindings like the Salomon / Atomic SHIFT
@@Backcountryskiingcanada I have these boots and the Salomon SHIFT binding. They work great. Love them!!!
@@fouglasdir Thanks Jeff, good to get some first-hand testimonial with this boot/binding combo.
Man I wish Canadian prices were always lower than US ones! (think you mean 849 Cad / 799 US)
Did I F$3k that up? Ugh, you are correct, Canadian prices are ALWAYS more than US (sadly).
Does this ski boot work on an alpine binding like marker baron?
No, because these have an alpine touring sole they are rockered for easier walking and therefor will not work with standard alpine bindings.
Many marker barons can be set up to be compatible with alpine touring soles.
