Look out for Terry I think his name was, a cross between an old Hells Angel and a retired Status Quo roadie. Grey pigtail and a beard you wont miss him.Know this may not suit but try and avoid weekends as they hire a lot of kit out and it gets busy with school trip fittings. That being said the early bird catches the worm.

How do they feel different to stand up in?

(if its possible to explain.)

The Zipfit liner was fitted by cem from the start. Now, when I stand in the boot, I feel I'm standing square on the ground, as though I would be difficult to push over. I'm used to having to push my knees out to get the boots to be flat to the floor (snow), and do all sorts of weird stuff with my skeletal muscles to make my skis work. The work that Andi has done, means I can ski with a narrower stance and my skis will still work, and there is less strain on my back and knees :D

I'd been cautioned by cem to expect a little tightness during the running period on the Zipfits, as the filler material is settling. However they've been comfy from the outset :D
