Touring liners that work well on the uphill and ski as well as premium ZipFit liners on the downhill. Designed alongside the most renowned mountain guides and uphill athletes, the GFT is exactly what we’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re skiing the Grand F’in Teton or lapping you’re local low angle meadows, the GFT touring liners keep your feet in place on the uphill and allow for a range of motion that reflects modern touring boot design — all without compromising our design of the custom cork pouches that provide premium heel hold, foot positioning, and performance on the ski down.

“I am a fully certified ski instructor and fully certified mountain guide (IFMGA/UIAGM/IVBV) from Austria with around 180 ski days per year. For about 20 years I have struggled to find ski boots that fit my complicated feet (thin heels, bony ankles, wide forefoot). I had symptoms of overuse, which became apparent through swelling and pain. Sometimes I could no longer walk barefoot. To survive the seasons, I needed an average of 3 cortisone injections a month. I have spent thousands of euros on ski boots to try and solve the problem, with moderate success. In winter 24/25 I came across the Zipfit inner boots and had a GFT fitted by Mitterer Martin, Tegernsee and I have to say I'm thrilled. The skiing feeling is incredible and the pain and inflammation are history. My first winter without visits to the doctor and getting injections. Skiing and ski touring are fun again! I also find that the liners are warmer than anything I've had before. I used the GFT in a Hawk Ultra XTD for skiing and freeriding and in a Backland XTD for ski touring (including several days high alpine crossings) and had no complaints (except maybe the extra weight, but in my opinion that is relativised by the incredible comfort). I was for example on Mont Blanc with the GFT, for the first time without numb toes. Thank you. I regret not having integrated Zipfit into my setup many years ago, it would have saved me a lot of painful experiences. I'm looking forward to the next seasons in my GFT's and am excited about the espresso liner. No longer without zipfits in the future. Thank you for a great product! Paul”

“This is my second pair of Zipfit Liners, first pair were purchased for my alpine boots reviewed separately. I purchased these liners from Mountain Chalet in Colorado Springs, CO and did a fitting there with Jim. I've only put about 6 days on them so far but they broke in pretty well on a long tour in to a 10th mountain hut with a very heavy pack. The first time I've ever done a hut trip without getting blisters...worth every dime. These are paired with Technica Zero G Scout (120 flex). A little heavier than the stock liners but the touring and skiing performance is a world of difference. Thank you for making a killer product, you've earned another loyal customer.”

“The support in the calf and heel is awesome - I have better edge control than in my old liners, but there is not much material or support in the forefoot. It’s basically just a neoprene sock. They felt great in the shop but when I skied in them I realized my whole forefoot was loose in the boot, I have no torsional control and there is no way to modify the liner to add material in that area - only in the tongue and the heel. I bought these from a dealer so I don’t have the return option after skiing them, so I’m out $600. Quite disappointing. I wish there was an option with more structure and volume in the toe box like my stock Intuition liners.”

Tim, Thanks for your feedback here. Adding cork to the lateral and medial instep pocket (the front channel in the ankle pouch) can dramatically increase your foot positioning and eliminate lateral movement of your feet. The toe box is that way by design to promote toe movement and balance through the foot. Some skiers add 3mm foam pads over the top of the toe box if they feel like they have too much room in the toe box.

“This is the only ski liner I will ever use. I’m a tele skier new to ZipFits and the hype is real. Picked these up last season and Jeff and the team walked me through an at home molding process - when I still had some play in my boot they helped me install some extra cork in the tongues. Now they fit like a glove and are outrageously comfortable. I use 28 shell but am a true 27.5, so having bomber liners that don’t pack out is essential for me. I can tour all day and I’ll forget to take my boots off while having a beer back at the car. I’m also skiing better than ever - these liners are hella responsive. I just swapped these bad larry’s over to the latest gen Scarpa TX Pros and they’re ready to rip. 10/10”

“Never going back to stock liners. After adding a little cork composite to the tongue and instep the fit is perfect. Now I don't have to tighten the bukcles super tight to achieve a snug, pani free fit.”

“I’m embarrassed that I made it to age 41 as an expert skier and never used a Zipfit until I had to replace my liners this year. It is single-handedly the best piece of gear I own and I own a garage full of ski stuff debatably worth more than my vehicles. I’ll blame it on not having a tele-ready liner until the GFT. Can’t recommend enough.”

“Boot: Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro, MP 27,5 I always had blisters on the inner side of my heels, with the stock liner as well as with another aftermarket liner. Now, after my first tours with the GFT I didn‘t have blisters anymore. For my needs the GFT walks uphill very well. Don‘t mind these view grams more in exchange for pain free skinning and the comfort the GFT provides for my feet. On the descent the GFT is - in my humble opinion - amazing for a touring liner (and even really good compared to alpine liners). Finally I think this is a great product and for me it‘s easily worth its price.”

“Ski boot shell: Technica Zero G Pro Tour Lower leg and foot volume: Average calf with low volume (97 last) feet. Skier type: Aggressive What works or doesn't work for me: The GFTs has been a game changer for me as I have narrow heels and always struggled with a heel lift. No matter what shells, mods or aftermarket liners I have used in the past...I could never really get a solid locked-in feel that I needed, to be comfortable on the way up. After 3 pre-season days with an average of 1.5hrs on the up, the GFTs are extremely supportive with no rubbing at all. I changed the laces to a flat/slightly elastic lace that felt better than the stock. I also removed the power strap on the liner, as it rubbed and caused interference on the up. Didn't seem to miss it at all on the down.”
