I Love these boots. Perfect for a washed up east coast racer turned CO powhound. I have some wear on the liners and the soles are trashed from much talus hopping. I was wondering if and where I can get replacement AT sole blocks or liners?

Hi,
I’vre read some comment’s about the fact that it’s hard to get in the more forward position of the zzeus, it’s mainly a matter of knowing how to do it… but anyway for the next season this will become easier on ZZeus + Titan + Gaia thanks to a little change on the ski walk mechanism. Some ZZeus from W2009-10 will still be on the market so they will still have it a little stiff.
We decided to have it in that way as pressing cuff and shell makes it working like a spring giving a much more progressive forward flex.
The updated version will still work that way but the effort to flex in the most forward position will be less… this was felt quite important after testing the Titan on very cold… they got so stiff that flexing to click the second position was quite hard…

As regards Touring rockered rubber soles on ISO alpine ski binding…works but it’s not respecting the norms required for the binding. The reason is tha the rubber plus height and shape of the toe of “rubberized” sole will drastically penalize the lateral release in case of a fall. Definitively a solution would be to tune the lateral release setting softer… but just for your knowledge there is not warranty in case of injuries happening on alpine bindings if using rubber soles.

Bye

Federico

On an unrelated note, here is an amazing blog with photos of steep skiing and mountaineering around Chamonix. I have nothing to do with it. I’m not that awesome: http://www.tobiasgranath.com/group.asp?catID=311
