2024 Tecnica Zero G Tour AT Ski Boots

STAFF PICK

I ski these boots and find them to give me all the support I need, no matter how steep and sketchy. You ski slow and carefully in those places while ski touring, right? You should. They are lightweight, affordable, and have a good sole for walking on asphalt and shale rock near the summit. The Zero G boot is the best seller for another important reason. For the majority of our customers, they hold your heel in the pocket better than any boot we have ever found. Backcountry skiing doesn't work if you get blisters 10 minutes into the day.

I like how the buckle loops and walk mode lever work. The factory liners are too short in length, they need to be stretched. I do that in the store in about 5 minutes. If you don't break in the toe area of new ski boot liners while trying them in the shop, you will accidentally buy the next largest size. measure your feet and go with at least half size smaller. Look for a 1.5 finger "shell fit" (ask someone). And finally, toss your own personal old liner in the shell. NOW you will know if the shell is the right size. 

I weigh 165 and find these boots great at the ski area. I'm old and slow. Get the stiffer models if you are a ripper. Most of our store customers buy the Scout or Pro models and are really happy with them. Stiffer boots are fine during the climb because you have the buckles loose. If you are happy with 120 or 130 flex boots at the ski area, then I guess buy those from us. If you used to tele ski, or you don't know what flex level means, get these guys here and save a few hundred bucks!

I say if you are buying boots on the internet without talking to me, just buy Tecnica Zero G. They have the best chance of fitting everyone. Better yet, text or email me a picture of your feet for boot suggestions. And last thing, the Zero G touring boots are narrower and lower volume than most every other boot. Oddly they work out on so many people. But think about it. Do you want a huge fat heavy shell and thick liner? that won't ski well. You want the ideal curved boot with some boot fitter mods. Zero G boots take re-shaping very well. The plastic is thin enough to manipulate easily.

FROM THE MANUFACTURER

Experience the power of the Zero G Tour, a four-buckle ski boot for intermediate to advanced backcountry skiers. The Zero G Tour weighs 1,500 grams (for a size 26.5) and features an uber-wide 55-degree range of motion, so gliding up the skin track feels like a breeze. And yet, when you lock down the four buckles for the descent, the 110 flex turns the Zero G Tour into a great downhill performer.
