Product details
The interior is stitched with form fitting leather of the highest quality, sourced from the same tannery that supplies Ferrari. For skiers looking for durability and a true to form fit that perfectly reflects the shape of your foot and lower leg, the Workhorse ski boot liners will get the job done. The leather interior meets the needs of hard daily use while keeping your foot and leg snug in the correct position, whether skiing, skating, or hiking.
Fit considerations
The Workhorse ski boot liners are pre-packed with the most OMFit self-molding cork composite, specifically designed for all day comfort and performance in mid to high volume ski boot shells, but skiers can add more cork to the tongue or ankle pockets to dial in their perfect fit. Ski patrollers have long been ZipFit loyalists, the Workhorse carries the ethos of handcrafted leather work boots and quality leather gloves – with some care, they will make your job more enjoyable and give you one less piece of gear to worry about replacing at the beginning of each season.

It all comes down to user preference.
Are you willing to lace up your liners and step into your shells before every use? Our leather lined ZipFits require this move, while our neoprene lined ZipFits are easier to step into. If your answer is “no way” – we suggest the neoprene ZipFits.
Leather offers a true to form fit meaning your ankles and shinbone will imprint into the leather, securing your lower leg and foot to the ultimate degree.
Neoprene has more natural cushioning, so while you can still get an excellent fit, they have a more forgiving feel when skiing.
Both interior liners can last a LONG TIME with proper care. While we think of leather as more durable, we know of a pair of neoprene liners with 1500 ski days.
For precision fit and performance, the leather has a slight advantage.
For ease of use and all mountain comfort, the neoprene has a slight edge.
Ski boot liners will dry better if removed from the shells, but what about the wear and tear of removing the liners and then stepping back into the shells? We recommend removing your ZipFits from the shell after skiing to unlace them and let them dry and then using the Ski Boot Horn to assist in stepping back into your shells. The Ski Boot Horn dramatically reduces the wear on the backs of your liners and by lacing your liners up prior to stepping into your boots will ensure that your foot is properly positioned.
Certainly, but take note that if you make an incision in your liners for boot heaters, that will void your 30 day money back guarantee. We recommend skiing in your liners for a week or so to ensure they are the right size and model before you add boot heaters. Additionally, heated socks perform well and don’t require altering your liners.
Yes, if you alter your liners or make any incisions to them in the first 30 days, it will void your return policy.
Great question, we built out an entire Care and Repair section to help our customers keep their ZipFits skiing longer.
