“When I think of ski boot fit, the two most important factors to me are 1) the performance fit, and 2) warmth. These liners fit very snug, molded surprisingly well to the contours of my feet. Better than any previous factory liners that I have had. They do feel quite different from a stock liner, there is no fuzzy fluffy, pillowy softness. The foam is quite firm, which takes some getting used to, but the way way it molds to your foot is impressive. Because of how well this custom molding works and the firmness of the foam, it is a very high-performance fit. The firm foam transmits energy to the shell and therefore the ski, much better than a soft, plush foam will. Secondly, these liners are quite a bit warmer than all my other liners. I did back-to-back testing with three other major brands of alpine boot stock liners and these were consistently warmer. Without heated insoles my toes will usually get unbearably cold below -5C. That isn’t very cold, but when I was young and full of vinegar, I didn’t treat my toes very nice in alpine boots. These Intuition liners are significantly warmer than all three others. A surprise benefit is how quick the liners dry out at the end of the day! This is great news on back-to-back ski days. They are also very easy to get in and out of the shell, easier than the factory liners, which also makes the drying process nice. I am so happy with how well these Intuition liners have rejuvenated my old boots, I am almost ready to get another set for my newer boots. They just ski that much better and are that much warmer.”
