Zipfit Liner. Cork material sitting kind of low. How long does it take to break in?

If the ceramic binding adhesive was a yield-stress fluid, it could suspend the cork and be elastic at room temp, suspend the cork, yet still flow, because the applied pressure of your foot in the boot would exceed the elastic modulus and reach the viscous modulus, making the material flow.

Or maybe it is a yield stress fluid, and the bootfitter who posited that the OMFit sinks over time is wrong.

He's wrong. It doesn't sink over summer.

Maybe you should use them before making a list of pros and cons.

How true is the claim that zipfits are cold which would really make the Heated boot bag $$$?

i didn't watch the videos.
nor do i have any time in zipfits.

however, once you have a heated boot bag, you will never go back.

Stop talking like that. Gaperious Bastard is (1) trolling people, (2) fluffing his own ego, (3) wasting time, and/or (4) all of the foregoing. Just look at that engineering data offered a couple posts up -- GB needs to know what is the precise chemical composition of the slurry, or else he'll keep working (1) through (4). Hallelujah.

True Mags use Intuitions or nothing. ZipFit is for gate-passers, and really skilled skiers who grew up passing gates but gave it up for more fun, they hate being reminded of those dull days of training and being coached.
