Bobby Buggs Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Can I use that NT liner for my son in his soft boots his boot is a 23. What do the rest of you recommend?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have that liner in my burton rulers. Works great. Its the liner deeluxe puts in their softboot models. If you want a more precise shell/liner interface, check out Thirty Two boots. not positive on new models but last year, year before etc the mid and higher end models came with intuition liners.

Bobby Buggs Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thing is he is only 9 and they wont fit him after this season so paying $100 + for boots for him is a total waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thing is he is only 9 and they wont fit him after this season so paying $100 + for boots for him is a total waste arent the liners that much? honestly, I got mine on ebay. I just searched the softboots for deeluxe, made sure they had the right liner, and paid I think $25 for boots/liners. Shells went in the trash. Liners STUNK when I got them due to mildew but a little vinegar in a spray bottle took care of that (works GREAT btw for removing stink from shoes, boots, etc. Just spray on and let dry. Foot smell AND vinegar smell fade away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray_on_tray Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I used Intuitions in my Northwave Legends last season and it was the most comfortable they had been. So much so that I sprung for ThirtyTwos this season. My feet are very happy. Much warmer than stock liners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewell Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 When I started riding, it was skiboot liners in Sorels. This year, I'm going to try putting the Intuition liners from my ThirtyTwo softies into my hardshells - it feels like a great big karmic full circle. But in any case: Another thumbs up on running the soft boots with moldable liners. For those trawling ebay & craigslist, I think only the high-end ThirtyTwo liners are moldable - mine are the "Tm2" boot w/ the "Level 4" liner, and are marked "designed by Intuition / Genuine Ultralon foam" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcarver Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 What is the difference in the 32 stage 3 vs 4 liner? Are they both Intuition? Looking for some good soft boots and found each type of boot in my size for cheap. The ones with the 3 are much cheaper though. Just want to make sure I'm getting the good liners before I buy anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray_on_tray Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I haven't ridden the Level 4, but I have ridden with Level 3 (Lashed, Broport) and Level 5 (Ultralight). The Ultralights are amazing, but very pricy (I got a great deal but was still leaning toward them anyway). I loved my Lasheds, which is why I moved from Northwave to 32. All are Intuition liners, so you can't really go too far wrong. If you're really unsure, start out with the best value (which appears to be the Level 3) and see how you like the fit. In a women's fit, the boot seem wider thru the toes than most which is perfect for me. Not sure about the men's fit. Definitely have them molded...they're ok without it, but it does make a huge differene. I've taken mine into local ski shops and used their "blower" to heat them up (abut 14 minutes will do it). Most will do it free of charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray_on_tray Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 BTW, I've got a pair of Raichle MP 23 thermo liners which have never been molded that I'm looking to get rid of...wasn't sure if I needed 23 or 24 and it turns out I needed 24. If somebody is in the Waterville area and could use them let me know. I'd let them go for a case of good beer...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 gray_on_tray, please check me on this, but last time I checked, the 32 Level 1 and Level 2 liners had laces on the liners, while the Level 3 and up and laces integrated into the inside of the boot shell. Because of that, if you're planning on moving the liner into another softboot, the Level 2 liner is probably the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray_on_tray Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I think you have it right. I'm actually all set, just offering an opinion on liners I've ridden. I had the alpine overlap Intuitions in my Northwaves and it worked very well without laces on the liners. Compared to my first pair of softies, which packed out a half size in less than a season, any boot with an Intuition liner gets my vote.

newcarver Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Anything wrong with the 32 boot shell? Am looking at the Lashed boot. Currently riding in some Burton Carbides, which have the inner lacing in the shell and not the liner. But these are starting to get kind of shabby as they are about 6 yrs old. Was looking at the 32's as a replacement. I think the Lashed might be a softer boot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skategoat Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Do softboot thermo liners have laces? Would an Intuition liner without laces provide enough support in a softboot shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcarver Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Head soft boots have thermofit or is it flex liners. Anybody know which models have these? Seems like the prices are good on them too. Anybody have any experience with any of the Head softies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
