replaceable liners
I have a pair of atomic boot and looking for new liners any thoughts.
Had the boots in front of fireplace and wife turned it on and up to high. Liner tongue is melted. Just want something for one or two days. Sort of willing to gamble on fit has to be better than what I have now. Jabbing the shins with hard melted plastic is not very inspiring when you want to go fast. The new atomic boots are coming out in sept have ordered a pair. |

I knew your wife had to be seriously stupid: after all, she married you and you're seriously stupid. Stupid is as stupid does, as she just proved. |

There are several aftermarket liners available, from fully lasted to wrap around heat fitted, some quite cheap and very functional. People looking for perfect fit often replace brand new boot liners for that last grain of performance. ZipFit and Intuition are a couple of brands. Try any full service boot shop. Or my preference - go to your local consignment shop and buy a pair of identical boots for a few bucks - gives you liners plus a parts shell for breakdowns. |

I have the standard liner that came out of my Dabello boots. Can have for free. Size 28.5. Might work. I once put liners from a pair of Raichle boots into a pair of Hansons. Does anybody remember these? |

Might work. thank you for the offer-- but I think I am ok I once put liners from a pair of Raichle boots into a pair of Hansons. Does anybody remember these? A few comments 1 I did find a solution went to my first pair of racing boots and the liner works much better. not sure if I am doing any more skiing this year but I want to make the decision not have it made for me by lack of equipment. 2, racing boot liners do not have as much padding 3. consignment shops on Long Island are not likely to have atomic race boots more likely to find a sailboat |

We couldn't afford to, so we made our own. He was the first to have store-bought skis too, we used to make our own. He had a pair of Olin Mark I's. Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares. |

In my post-Navy poverty mose years, I was staying io a Lake Tahoe condo with a large group of friends. One of then left his rented boots to close to the fire and one of the toe domes collapsed. He fixed it (at least to the level of usability) by reheating the toe with a hair dryer and jamming a balled-up sock into it. I left a pair of boots in a carrier too close to the wall heater in a hotel at Mammoth once, but the damage was limited to the carrier's plastic handle.

The boots were fine when I was side slipping the course for the race my son was in. When I went to run at nastar the boots were not responding the same way when I went to turn the foot was moving and then the boot was coming along. Plus racing is a little mental if equipment is not spot on you have a tendency not to go 110%. It all adds up. |
