Tecnica ZeroG Tour Pro - 2018- 9 boot

[NorCalNomad]

I just ordered the buckle from Technica's site.

With continued issues with my alpine boot, this boot has become my daily boot now. Feels super intuitive to ski with the Deathwish on shift.

So flipping the lock, adding the spoiler helps with the downhill?

I love the flex, but the liner could be beefier around the ankle. Is a pro tour wrap the way to go for making these a makeshift downhill boot or has anyone tried some other liners?

I'm about to add some foam around my ankles on my Tour Pro's but that's probably more due to having pretty low volume ankles + slightly upsizing to accommodate my instep that's about 2 sizes bigger than my length

Big fan of tour wraps here. Pro Tours are nice, for those who don't bond with wraps.

Sorta a jong Q but…what alpine binders work with there ZGs (if any). I’m currently running tectons for in area parent skiing but I might like to go alpine (no I don’t have a dedicated alpine boot)

MNC binders are technically the only ones certified for 9523 soles. However, GW and WTR bindings with adjustable toe stack height can work, though release values will likely be altered to some degree.

I will highly advise not using them with Markers. There is something about the geometry of Markers that doesn't play well with softer/ less dense plastics in a lot of touring boots. Had to warranty a pair because of a Tour 12 chewing up mine and the guys at Technica advised against it. Had to use the warranty replacement pair for a few months in some Marker Lords and there is dents in the heel ledge from it. Used them with Wardens without that problem

seconding this. Marker heels do not play well with softer plastics. Totally fuck up the heel shelf on the boot.

My tyrolia attack ats seem to be playing nicely with my zero gs. There's also the warden mnc.

A question for everyone with Pro Tours - did you size up or down? I'm a 25.5 shell.

[Bamski]

I’m in a snug performance fit (5-10mm maybe?) in my alpine boots (Promachines), and ski a size up from that in my ZGTPs.

I’ve thrown a tour wrap with some solid j bars and a very (very) small spoiler in to the shells. My local fitter took a stand that if I’m going to spend 6-8-10 hours in these boots, I’m asking for trouble if I try for a similar level of fit. After someone I know through the grapevine lost some toes this winter on a long cold day in the BC, I’m glad I did.

I ski 27.5 cochise pros inbounds and have skied 27.5s for the last 12 years. 27.5 ZGTP shell fit was almost 2 fingers, so I sized down to 26.5 for a slightly bigger than a 1 finger fit, then punched the big toes. Stock liners. I've put 8 or so touring days this year and they are my best fitting boots I've had in years. No cold toes on a few near zero degrees F days, either.

Edit: Now I see that this was for intuition pro tour liners in the tour pro boot. Disregard, but I'll leave this here anyway in case anyone is wondering what size shell to get

I've got 26 MVs in a 26.5 shell. Length is really close to the stock liner.

My intuitions are the MV matching the shell.

Or do you mean what's your ZGTP in relation to my other boots? I have 26.5 Salomon Xmax's in 26.5, but I went with the 27.5 ZGTP (to both accommodate my massive instep volume without boot work since I got them on prodeal release year). Should probably be in the 26.5 with bootboard/ shell work.

Pretty sure his question was re: liner size, since Intuition does whole sizes and the shells break on the half.

Exactly.

[HAB]

Exactly.

See my note above.

Tecnica, like most of the industry, does their break on the whole size. Not on the half like Scarpa. Ie 27-27.5 are the same shell in Tecnica, 26.5-27 are the same shell with Scarpa.

So my 27-27.5 shells got 27's in Intuition

It's interesting. Looking through the threads, about 50% size down and 50% size up; even for this specific boot.

I think you are missing the majority here, mainly because outliers are more likely to report.

25.5 ZG.

25.5 liners in both pro tours, tour wraps and FT tour wrap.

25.5 liner? They only offer 25 and 26.

Pick your intuition size based off your foot size, not your boot size. eg. if you are a 3/4 finger fit in a 25 shell, go for a 26 liner. If you are a 2 finger fit in a 25, go for a 25. That way you get more toe room if your boots are tight and better contact if your boots are big.

This is wrong. A 26 liner actually has more foam if that makes sense. So it fits tighter than a 25. You get toe room in intuition with toe caps and sock cap spacers behind them.

This is what I believe as well...although I think GoldenBC is by far one of the more experienced Intuition fitters here, could be wrong.

Sorry I consider 25/25.5 boots the same thing. Pro tours/Tour Wraps are 25. Full Tilt tour wraps are 25.5. They are both only sold that way for a 25/25.5.

Now I understand what you are trying to point out that I just wasn't understanding: Saying a 25 would be dropping down from the 25.5 vs as a 26 obviously being an up.

[CaliBrit]

I could also be full of shit. But I think I’m not.

I have 26 shell boots and buy 26 shell liners.

Ignore the half size and don’t buy Scarpa.

[Eluder]

Ignore the half size.

Exactly, they don't exist.

For what its worth, which isn't much... I have sold and fit a lot of Intuition liners. I always would match up the soles and go with what was closest unless I was was attempting to alter fit. I ordered myself 25 Tour Wraps right when I heard they may exist, There wasn't really any good info on them yet. The stock liner does kind of fit in the middle of a 25 and 26, I am sure either would work.
