Boot liner packing in, heel lifting in boots.
My last year's Nitro Team boots seem to fit really well. At least at first.
By the time I've walked from the car to buy lift tickets, I typically have some heel lift. I'll usually take a run or two before removing the boots, tightening up the liner, then cranking down the laces. Then later in the day they will be loosening again. The lace up for the liners is attached to the boot, except for the final "eyelet" which is on the liner itself. I had them thermo-fitted when new, and I had to redo the thermofit for one boot this season because the padding crept in the offseason, and I didn't have enough room in the toebox. Is there another liner that would be better to use in these? A different brand is fine if it fits. I've considered wearing a hard heel cup. Haven't bought one yet, but it seems like a reasonable approach: If my heel & ankle weren't so skinny, I don't think this would occur. If you've had this problem, how have you solved it? Is there a boot that works well for people who commonly experience heel-lift? |

I've been searching a lot for good boot that fits me well. I ended up with the ThirtyTwo Forecasts which I like. Their key thing is that they come with Intuition liners, which have a much better heat-moldabable foam that more regular liners (they are also completely moldable where most liners only have little patches of foam in the tongue and ankle sections). You can buy Intuition liners at www.yyzcanuck.com. I believe Dmitri here did that also to stop heel lift and really like the results. I've considered wearing a hard heel cup. Haven't bought one yet, but it seems like a reasonable approach: If my heel & ankle Maybe you could try these (I've been tempted to get them myself occasionally, but my heel lift problem are mostly fixed by the new liners) http://www.sportsbasement.com/jump.j...emType=PRODUCT If you've had this problem, how have you solved it? Is there a boot that works well for people who commonly experience heel-lift? Some people really like the Salomon Malamute boots becaues they are a ankle strap built into the liner. I found the liner packs out too quickly and becomes too roomy for a person with narrow feet and toes. Good luck! --Arvin |

I'll check into that further, or maybe see if I can find 32 boots (with Intuition liners) locally. I've considered wearing a hard heel cup.

I couldn't quite figure out what it does (ankle strap that attaches to inside of boot?), and couldn't find it on Dakine's site at all. I might phone them next week. Thanks for the great tips, and merry xmas! David |
