Ski Boots - How I Set Mine Up

- This video focuses on my boots and how I like to set them up. Are you trying to achieve higher levels of performance in your skiing? Progressing your technique is always key but don't over look your equipment...is it fit for purpose and are your ski boots set up properly?!
In the video I mention that the ZipFit corsa liner has "leather all the way through" - this is not entirely true, they have a neoprene toe box with leather everywhere else.

I think the important thing is the boot fit the feet good from the beginner, I am using a head wc3 150 and of course my boot fitter worked really good to shape the boot in to my feet, I can ski all day without problem, but I said again, do not choose the maker because you see around but try different tipe if you want a real WC boots and off course a good boot fitter can help too.
Thanks for the video 😊
Loved the video! I'd also love one about your ski quiver (resort skiing with GS vs SL skis)!
I'll see what I can do. Thanks

Thanks for the tips
Howdy, few questions since i got the same boot (3:1 shell and cuff) fitted few days ago:
-Which parts of the ZF Corsa are different in volume to the stock liner (and did your fitter add additional cork)?
-Does the all-leather interior make a big difference for you?
I love Zipfits and got them in my normal alpine and freeride boots but the stock liner in the RC4 Podium actually has quite similar construction to a ZF (neoprene toebox, cork-pouches around the ankles, lacing), kinda hard to justify dropping 450$ just for the leather and cork-tounge^^
Also, did you try other flex cuffs than the 3:1 on snow, if so how big was the difference? You'd think a 3:1 flex boot would feel like your foot is cast in concrete, but the RC4 actually flexes quite pleasantly. If anything i'm thinking about trying the 2:1 cuff they offer...
I find the fore foot part of the corsa to be the most beneficial when it comes to taking up space in the boot for me, I did not get extra cork put in to mine. I find the leather makes it fit nicely and it holds its structure for longer. This is defiantly each to their own...I use the ZipFit because I just felt the stock liner in the Podium was a bit too thin and ultimately wasn't enough for me. I have only tried the 3:1 cuff and for me I really like it, as you say it still gives nicely. If I have an opportunity to try some other cuffs I will but for me teaching everyday I don't think I will need anything stiffer than 3:1 cuff and 4:1 clog.
I don't bother to patch it with extra padding. I think we just have to pick the brand that caters to our particular foot shape. Some are made for wider feet and some others are for narrower feet.
This is incorrect! Every boot manufacturer offers several last width options, every brand has varying volume distribution ie instep height, medial volume, cuff shape, ankle circumference, heel depth width and height. Forefoot width is the single easiest thing to modify in a boot. And to say zip fit liners are “extra padding” suggests you shouldn’t be posting regarding boot fitting 🤷♂️
