Dynafit ZZero 4 C-TF Alpine Touring Boot
Mixed Feelings
By Matt Hart
Ranked #18 - Alpine Touring Boots
December 1, 2011
I climbed/skied 100,000 feet in one week in this boot ~ http://ow.ly/7LptO
Good:
Lighter than most at 3lb 6oz per boot for size 26 (US8).
Just stiff enough to drive a fat light ski (Voile Drifters).
Good for a narrow foot.
Bad:
Not as durable as I'd hoped. In about 30-40 days the touring buckles collars were bending and there was some malformed plastic.
Because the liner was so minimal my foot got really banged up from every day use. Ankle bone in particular took months post winter to heal.
The mold didn't seem to scale for the smaller sizes. There seemed to be too much going on for my small boot size. Buckles would rub, upper plastic on lower - just showed it was tested and molded at a bigger size and not redesigned at all for the smaller sizes.
