Dynafit ZZero 4 PX-TF Alpine Touring Boot
LIMITED BACKWARD CUFF MOTION

Ranked #56 - Alpine Touring Boots

Compared to similar Dynafit-compatible boots by other brands, these boots seem to have limited backwards cuff motion in tour mode. The result is that you can't stand up straight in them while skinning, and your weight ends up being carried by muscle tension instead of your skeleton. This is subtle and may only matter for those who do very big days. In terms of weight, construction, and ski performance, the boots are excellent.

Just regarding comments about limited cuff movement. I skied 40 days on theses last year including one a near 10,000ft touring day. for me the trick is to do the power strap up just around the liner , don't put it around the tongue, and leave the top buckles totally undone. My feet stay put and I get lots of cuff motion.Having the powerstrap done around the tongue really limits the travel.
