Anyone using them? Not using them, but have considered them. Fortunately (for me) N. Tahoe's best bootfitter advised that the inner's tongue was too thick over the instep to use with my Flexon shells. This was years ago, and was the lasted inner, not the wrap-around molded version. I came near to buying some before this money saving advice. A molded wrap-around inner is standard on some recent Full Tilt shells, so the wrap-around is a different story. The point is, you really need to get expert advice on usability in your particular shells or be prepared to eat the cost if it doesn't work out. But I'd assume anyone selling them would know about shell fit and be willing to take them back if they failed on basic shell usability issues? That said, my boot shop carried Intuition for other customers, and the liners seem to have a good reputation. Some guys around the locker room use and like them with no problems. Good longevity, don't seem to break down too quickly. Like any boot, fit is personal. |

Anyone using them? Two pair of boots. 5 year old Scarpa Tornados came with 'em. 2 year old Dalbello Kryptons were upgraded at end of last year. Both pair were fitted by experienced bootfitter using appropriate padding and hot spot fillers. Each pair has only been heated once, the Scarpas 5 years ago by Kurt at Northern Ski Works in Ludlow and the Kryptons by Pat at Sports Odyssey also in Ludlow (Okemo). The Scarpas have almost 200 days on them after heating and are still great. The Dalbellos only have half a dozen days. The Dalbellos are so stiff compared to the Scarpas that I buckle them as loosely as possible and they still perform perfectly. The Scarpas have lots less stiffness but are perfect for "working" as I have to walk a lot in ski boots. RW |

RW I have a pair of Tecnica Icon X boots, shells in good condition, but I got a little frostbite last year so I assumesome breakdown in the liner. I will have to travel to a shop that sells/fits them, but I can make that happen. The Tecnicas are pretty stiff too, but I still have that old-school stiff boot mentality. You both mention fit issues, which molded boots tend to address. How about warmth? Especially up there in Vermont, where I hope to go this season? Thanks for the answers. mg |

I have friends that get cold feet with electric heaters. RW |

No experience with Intuition liners myself, but there's no reason why they wouldn't be plenty warm if you follow the above advice. //Walt |

Some people still don't realize that if you crank that 2nd buckle (on 4 buckle boots) down over your instep you not only flatten your foot and make it likely to cramp, but you cut off the blood to your toes. Under those conditions they'd get cold at the beach !! I like my boots pretty tight. But as I grew to understand the fit, and had professionals work on that, it became easy to get my foot/boot/ski to all turn at the same time without "having my eyes bug out". I don't know MG's experience level. Either on the mountain or in the ski world in general. I was drenched in both and it was easy and cheap for me to get there. A ten day per year skier that lives in the city can get the same thing but it will be more expensive and take some time and effort. |
