Hey Lou et al-

I have a pair of the Zzero PB boots, actually pair number 2 as the first pair also got a crack just behind one of the front pin holes. This pair now has the same problem (Dynafit warrantied them once already). Anyone else coming up with this problem? The first pair had 2 seasons of probably 100 days apiece, but this pair had maybe 60 days, mostly backcountry.

thanks
Lynne

The Dynafit MF (Multiform) will add a smidge of stiffness and no it’s not thermo form. TF stands for thermo form. Multiform is a good last that fits lots of different feet, and can be moderately customized by a boot fitter. Lou

Hi Lou,
I have a question on the Zzero4 C-MF. Do you know if the MF versoin of the boot will fit different than the TF version? I have tried on a (2008/2009) TF mondo size 26 and it felt great. However, I found a great deal on a (2007/2008) MF version in mondo size 26.5 – so I went for it. To my knowledge, the shell size should be identical (b/w 26 and 26.5). Ordered online (with 100% satisfaction guaruntee) so I wasn’t able to try it on.

But just looking at pictures, the MF liner looks much thicker than the TF liner (at least at the visible upper cuff area.

Also, are the MF liners heat moldable?

If the MF liner doesn’t work – I have a g-fit liner (for an old G-ride) in good shape that I’m hoping will help.

I just haven’t been able to find much information on the comparisons of these two liners – besides the weight difference. Also, the MF seems like it may add a smidge of stiffness – which is welcome.

Thanks!
Mike

Chad, just compare the height of your rear spoiler on former boots with Zzero, and compare height of liner. If they’re pretty much the same you won’t notice any difference. If not, ski ‘em and add something back there if you feel the need. It’s not a big issue.

Lou,

I have purchased the 07/08 Zzero C4″Green Machine”. I have been skiing only Garmont boots-Mega Ride for the last 5yrs. I wanted to change to the Dynafit based on some great feedback I have heard from friends, and reviews. My question is regarding the low profile spoiler on the back of the boot. What have you found in some of your research regarding some of the performance differences between the Dynafit, and Garmont regarding the design differences in this area?

I would be using this boot for strictly touring in the BC, and ski mountaineering in our beloved Elk Mountains.

Thanks for your time, and info.

Chad
