Just that really. Are they warm? I'd be particularly keen to hear from anyone who has also skied with an Intuition liner and can compare them. Thanks a lot

Since I got fitted with Zipfits I've not had a ski day with cold feet. Do not leave them outside to go cold!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There's different thicknesses of both Zipfit & Intuition liners which I'd assume would make a difference to their warm.

the thickness's of zip fit liners are only the back end of the liner and the tongue where the cork putty material is, the front of all of them is the same (except the classic which is way thicker) they have shear-ling fleece and neoprene in the toe box the intuition liner is probably a little warmer, but doesn't give the same level of heel hold, the zip fit is warmer in most cases than the standard liner, but a lot of this depends on your circulation as much as it does the liner, a good merino wool sock will also help pull moisture form your foot which will keep it warmer.
glp9, is it cold or are you cutting the circulation off somewhere and need a small boot adjustment? if it is whatever the external temperature then it sounds like a circulation thing, blood not getting everywhere it should, first place i would look is the tongue, is there a red area on top of your foot when you take them off? if so try massaging the cork material in the tongue form where the red spot on your foot is away from that area further up the tongue, it will give a bit more space there, it will also find its own level so don't worry about pushing it out the way (it flows back if there is a void)

I have had zipfits for 4 or 5 years now with my latest boots - but CEM has just fitted the heated things under the footbeds for me for this coming winter. I do suffer with very cold feet - OH always complains about my feet in bed.... - and also cold hands and use the teabags in my gloves for the majority of the winter.
The zipfits though have really made the fit of the boot much better, particularly negating much heel lift.
