The Zephyr 11 Vacuum fit great out of the box with frictionless entry and exit. Testers said it skied flawlessly in all conditions with a ready and balanced stance. It comes with the additional “fit insurance policy” of Fischer’s unique Vacuum molding process that uses pressurized bladders to form the shell to foot shape.
While testers didn't feel like there was any immediate need to undergo the Vacuum forming process, why wouldn't you? Our Vacuum tests show that both fit and stance are improved after the custom forming process.
The Zephyr 11's tapers to the snug side of the medium class average and our test team liked that. Testers said that the ankle and heel were contained enough for precision skiing but with a freedom of fit in the toebox and also at the boot top for slightly larger calves. For skier looking for a snugger fit than the Zephyr 11 offered in its stock shape, they need only take advantage of Fischer's new 2Zone Vacuum fitting kits that let savvy bootfitters target certain fit zones for tightening and others for more relaxed fit tension.
Stance alignment is happily neutral, said testers, with no rear spoiler to worry about (fine out of box), but again, the Vacuum forming procedure has been shown to make positive changes to stance angles as well. Insurance.
Kudos
