I did, had Colin CEM fit me some new boots, he looked at my old zip fits (only 18months old) and he said they were fine for my new boots. Admittedlyid kept with Rossi and just gone from a 97 to 100 last with the same sole length.
My only caution would be if you boots were heated to the original liners, you may find there is more room once you put the zip fits in.
Give CEM a shout if he doesn't see this, he's the Jedi of all things feet related

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

@PaulC1984, he fitted my zipfits when I was was using the old boots. I think at that point the old boots should have been declared too big. ...but they weren't. . .and with hindsight they clearly were.
The zipfits are languishing in my Keller in Austria so I was planning to repatriate them and see if they work. I can't remember if the boots were heated. I can always pop into profeet and ask Bernie to have a look.

@holidayloverxx, I think for a visit into the shop it's worth the peace of mind, just remember to take 280ish squidleys with you I case you need new ones 
What boots and size sole do you have?

@PaulC1984, I'd have to go and look..and I'm in Canada with the current boots and the old pair are in Austria so difficult to compare precisely!
Old boots Head Thang 10, new boots Dalbello something or other. Why would the sole make a difference?

Only that I have some spare Rossi liners, completely unused that you could have had if you have the right boots and sole length

@holidayloverxx, yes Zipfits can be moved from shell to shell, although you will probably want to get that confirmed elsewhere as every time i seem to comment you have to make a snide remark! the new shell should be heated to allow the outside of liner to conform to the shell shape

@CEM, Colin thank you for that advice.
I don't regard my comment as snide. .. simply stating a view. A great many people on here have nothing but a fantastic experience of your service and say so. Am I not allowed to state my own experience and that of my husband. ..always reported factually and politely...and certainly not always when you comment, in fact hardly ever and on checking not since 2012.
I am happy to point out to anyone reading that you did not fit the original boots.
I'll say this now, and I've never posted it before, but you started it....I am not the only one who shares the opinion I state occasionally on other threads...but I am seemingly the only person who dares to say so.

Thread hijack warning...
I have Atomic Hawx 130 boots with the stock liners, Sidas. Bought last year. They have already packed out - after ~70 days skiing. I am intrigued by the Zipfits because of the many great reviews I have read; BUT, most of the reviews are 3 or 4 years old. There is little new on their website. It makes me wonder if Zipfits have passed by time.. If they have, what has taken their place?
BTW: I like a tight fit, with strong heel lock-down. The reviews suggest I will get that with the right Zipfit model.
Before anybody asks, the shell is a tight fit. Less than a finger's space, front to back, and minimal sideways space on the forefoot. With the liner in, the toes touch the end quite firmly, but are comfortably pulled back when buckled.

Zipfits are excellent. I guess like everything to do with ski boots, they suit some feet better than others but if you are one of the lucky ones, in my view, there is nothing better. My latest Zipfits were new last season and 150 days later are still like new.
They give a firm but comfortable fit and I have never found anything with better heel lock-down. I wouldn't have anything else.
I certainly don't think their time has passed or that, for me, there is anything to compare with them.
