Apparently, the Z+ series boots have some work pre-done on areas that are typically known fitting issues. I haven't personally seen one but I imagine the navicular is stretched a bit, and maybe they do pre-cut the boot sole lugs to DIN/ISO Norm. The ZA, ZB and ZC do not come DIN compliant but I would not worry about it if. Any shop that is worth working with has the tools and is able to cut the lugs to spec in 2 minutes. This is already a necessary procedure for any boot sole canting work and is one of the reasons the Z series plug boots come with the extra sole material. The manufacture knows if you are serious enough to get into a plug boot, there is potentially going to be extensive work done on it. All the brands treat plug boots this same way; Head Raptor B2rd, Atomic Redster 150/170, Dalbello DRS WC, all require the boot sole lugs to be cut to DIN standard. No big deal...
