Custom Ski Boot Liners

How often should ski boot liners be replaced?

Ski boot liners should be replaced as they get worn, generally every 100-150 ski days for foam liners, but cork liners may last more than double that. Depending on how frequently you ski, a pair of boot liners could last anything from a season to a few years. You’ll know when your ski boot lining needs replacing if:

• Your boot feels loose or as if your foot is sliding
• Your foot feels uncomfortable or colder than normal in your boots
• There’s visible damage or cracks

What are the benefits of using a custom ski boot liner?

Most ski boots come with existing stock liners, but these are one-size-fits-all, designed to work for every foot shape. A custom boot liner is moulded to your foot shape, offering you better comfort and control as well as providing warmth by improving circulation.

What is the difference between Foam Injection and Cork liners?

Foam ski boot liners are usually lighter and cheaper but are less durable than cork systems like ZipFit. On the other hand, cork ski boot liners are very durable and long-wearing, often lasting 300-500 ski days before needing replacement. Using a cork and gel composite formula, ZipFit can be topped up to pad areas of the foot where more material is needed, creating a snug fit perfectly moulded to your foot shape.

How long do custom ski boot liners last?

How long your custom boot liners last depends on the material used as well as other factors such as how you take care of your ski boots. Generally, a well cared for foam liner will last around 100 to 150 ski days, whilst a cork liner can last anything from 300 to 500 days.

Do I need to see a professional to have them fitted?

Whilst you can fit your own ski boot liners, we recommend seeing our professional team in our Sheffield ski shop and having your liner fitted at the same time as your boot fitting for a better finish and an improved fit. “
