Wondering if anyone is having an issue similar to mine in the the rivet / interface between the cuff and shell is rounding out and developing play? I have roughly 20 days on ZG Tour Scouts this year and the plastic around the shell has worn down which has caused there to be some "slop" in the flex of the boot (can see a gap in this rivet now). Is this a common problem? Happening on both the left and the right boot. Disappointed given otherwise love them.

I didn't have this problem on my scouts with about 40 days of 1/2 inbounds 1/2 bc. Nothing yet on my Pro's with a little less than 20 days.
TLDR; Ski faster. Quit breathing. Don't crash.

Any word on any changes planned for the zgtp for next season?
Wanna buy a pair; wundrin' if it's worth waiting for anything newer, shinier and/or fancier.Master of mediocrity.

fwiw I went with the Petzl Irvis (not the hybrid, the full steel pons) which fit perfectly with the fully automatic system (my ZGTPs are 26.5/303mm). they're nice and sharp and hopefully will hold up to my dumbass abuse. we'll see tomorrow.

Your comments got me nerding out, and I came across this interesting post on metals from Dane (Cold Thistle):

Liners: stock ones are good everywhere but pinky toe/6th toe where I need a serious stretch. But, these fuckers are lasted. Any method tips for really stretching that area? Already cooked them with toe caps. Need to bring in the big guns. No, I'm not looking for alt liner suggestions.

Take the liners out of the shells and put them on with thin socks. Use a silver Sharpie to mark the points that are pressuring your foot. Use a broom handle or something about the same diameter as a stretching tool; it helps to stabilize it in a vise. Heat the area(s) you want to stretch with a heat gun but be careful not to melt the tricot/vinyl top layer, then stretch away. Your bootfitter should probably have done this as a matter of course when doing the punches.

On an alpine liner there is normally a thin vinyl protective layer covering the bottom - heat this at the edge until the glue becomes soft enough to peel the vinyl back, stretch the side of the liner, and put the vinyl back down before it cools completely. You can usually gain another 1/4 inch of room that way. (In an extreme case you can cut the stitching as well)
Note: ZGTP liners don't have this layer, as it adds weight.

Went at it with the heat gun and screwdriver handle (broom stick ain't getting into the toes of these 24.5 slippers) last night and it worked pretty damned well. Required more heat and more force than I expected, but once I figured it out it was quite easy. Thanks again. Hope to finally get them out of the garage this weekend.

Read almost all 35 pages of this post to see if anyone talked about sizing. I wear a 13 in Altra shoes and a 29.5 OG Maestrale RS (30.0 shell size). The 30.5's ZGTP are hard to find. With wasatchback's post, I am rethinking if a 29.5 will work. Is the ZGTP shell a 30 with 29.5 liner or a 29 with a 29.5 liner? Anyone coming from the OG Maestrale RS into this boot can share any sizing feedback? My local shop cannot get the boot...
I love my family. Kids are the best.

Tecnica ZeroG Tour Pro - 2018- 9 boot
Random data point. I’m 11 US in my right and 10.5 left and have 27.5. The left fit is perfect, the right is tight but ok.

What's the consensus on the liner of this boot, are most peeps keeping or switching out? It will be a dedicated tourer, no resort.

Tecnica ZeroG Tour Pro - 2018- 9 boot
Stock liner Tours great, skis ok. A tour wrap would be $$$, but I’ll probably wait til I wear the stock liner out. Hopefully by then there’s an 800 gram 150 flex touring boot that all of TGR love, and I’ll just buy those and skip the liner upgrade.
On the plus side, I didn’t have to mold it.wait!!!! waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait...Wait!

Stock liner was first stock liner I’ve didn’t hate. They weren’t very warm though. I have some intuitions now. Can’t beat those.
