RDY_2_Carve Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'd love to see the look on a bootfitters face when you bring these in! Octopus liners! Has anybody ever seen or used these before?!?! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nils Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I'm currently using them in my good old SB121! At a time ( 1995) , Raichle made it possible to buy the shell, without the liner, just for this purpose ( injected liners). It is such a glove on the legs/feet, that it is zillion times more precise than any other kind of liner.... downside is it presses the leg so much that you need to release all most buckles after each slope ( or the blood pressure is so painful you can pass out !)...BUT: its precise, and in case you have pain with every other kind of boots, this is the footglove stuff. After the PU foam is injected , it takes like 15 mins to dry, then the octopus tentacles are cut / teared out to make the liner look like a liner :). My 2cts: when you get an injected liner: be sure NOT to wear too thin socks otherwise the little room you need to get comfy will be close to zero! Wear mid/thick size socks so you can ride using thin ones afterwards! Interesting price for the liners on ebay, but you need someone that knows the job to inject the foam, and also a custom made footbed inside! Not a do it at home stuff!

Guest Randy S. Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Surefoot uses them all the time. In fact, they now have Conform'able make them with Surefoot's name on them. They're supposed to be awesome from what I've heard. Expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeremiah Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 They have either those exact liners or something very similar at Starting Gate. I'm not sure how they would feel about fitting them if purchased elsewhere. I can't remember the price at Starting Gate, but I think it was in the $300 range. If you're in the NE, you might give them a call. Jeremiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I ride these liners in my DeeLuxe Suzuka shells. They work really well if you have “problem feet”. One big advantage also is that they don’t pack out during the day… I would recommend them. Or, the Strolz liners are also great. But the Strolz don’t have the foam injected tongue… http://www.strolz.at/english/gesamt.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
