Product description
The World Cup sidewinder ski boot liners are the culmination of 30 years of design refinement and stand out as Sven Coomer’s choice liners. Many skiers search for the perfect turn. Sven sought to design the optimal ski boot liners that could help skiers achieve the feeling of a perfect carve. In order to transfer maximum energy from the leg into the ski, the World Cup Sidewinder features a medial side with stiffened plastic from the outsole up to the cuff, preventing ankle collapse. These liners are the highest performing ski boot liners in the world for on piste and in the race course.

Size guide
Size chart
What is Mondo sizing? Mondo sizes correspond to foot length in cm.
HOW TO FIND YOUR MONDOPOINT SIZE
Stand on top of a piece paper with your heel against a wall and all of your weight pressed down upon the foot you are measuring. Then, draw a line at your big toe or the longest point on your foot (we see you Morton's toe). Measure in centimeters the length of the paper to the line, and that is your mondopoint size. Measure both feet, and size to the smaller foot.

Product details
The interior has a neoprene tongue and the rest is stitched with the highest quality leather, sourced from the same tannery that supplies Ferrari, so going fast is in these liners’ DNA. For skiers seeking stability and a true to form fit that perfectly reflects the shape of your foot and lower leg, the World Cup Sidewinders are here for you. Heightened sensitivity that comes with the leather interior matched with the stable drive of the sidewinder design make for the best power transfer possible.
Fit considerations
The World Cup Sidewinder liner is pre-packed with a moderate volume of OMFit self-molding cork composite, specifically designed for normal volume feet in low to mid volume shells but skiers can add more cork to the tongue or ankle pockets to dial in their perfect fit. For ski instructors and active racers focusing on every element of the turn, the World Cup Sidewinder ski boot liners will give you a new edge, holding your foot and lower leg in the optimal position for maximal drive and control.

It all comes down to user preference.
Are you willing to lace up your liners and step into your shells before every use? Our leather lined ZipFits require this move, while our neoprene lined ZipFits are easier to step into. If your answer is “no way” – we suggest the neoprene ZipFits.
Leather offers a true to form fit meaning your ankles and shinbone will imprint into the leather, securing your lower leg and foot to the ultimate degree.
Neoprene has more natural cushioning, so while you can still get an excellent fit, they have a more forgiving feel when skiing.
Both interior liners can last a LONG TIME with proper care. While we think of leather as more durable, we know of a pair of neoprene liners with 1500 ski days.
For precision fit and performance, the leather has a slight advantage.
For ease of use and all mountain comfort, the neoprene has a slight edge.
Ski boot liners will dry better if removed from the shells, but what about the wear and tear of removing the liners and then stepping back into the shells? We recommend removing your ZipFits from the shell after skiing to unlace them and let them dry and then using the Ski Boot Horn to assist in stepping back into your shells. The Ski Boot Horn dramatically reduces the wear on the backs of your liners and by lacing your liners up prior to stepping into your boots will ensure that your foot is properly positioned.
Certainly, but take note that if you make an incision in your liners for boot heaters, that will void your 30 day money back guarantee. We recommend skiing in your liners for a week or so to ensure they are the right size and model before you add boot heaters. Additionally, heated socks perform well and don’t require altering your liners.
Yes, if you alter your liners or make any incisions to them in the first 30 days, it will void your return policy.
Great question, we built out an entire Care and Repair section to help our customers keep their ZipFits skiing longer.
