		<description>I&#039;ve skied the Dynafit TLT 5 Mountain for a few days now.

I&#039;ve got a wide foot that measures 100 mm with a prominent &quot;6th&quot; toe. I had the TLT 5 punched at the green plastic part of the toe. No heat, just a cold punch. So far so good.

I had the stock TF-X liner heated first with the usual toe caps. So far my feet have been warm and comfortable. Although, I am a little disappointed in the liner. I was expecting a fit more like what I have in my Inuition Powerwraps that are in my Zzero boots. 

Just for kicks, I tried the TLT 5&#039;s with a Inution Pro Tour liner. No go, way too much volume for this boot. I couldn&#039;t even get the upper boot buckle to close. Maybe Inution will make a lower volume touring liner.

I&#039;ve also found that I need to tighten the buckles a bit more to get good downhill performance in heavy, cut up snow.

But otherwise, I had a very delightful day on my Pontoon, Dynafit Speed binding and TLT 5 boot!!!</description>

		<description>john,

What&#039;s your current boot? Fwiw Fede tells me that the liner can thermomold quite a bit.  My forefoot&#039;s a bit cramped in an unmolded TLT5 liner.  To compare, I fit the stock Scarpa/Intuition liners without any molding.</description>

		<description>Adam,

That&#039;s really nice to get your take.  In particular its good  to see I&#039;m not the only one who prefers skiing Skookum with the softer tongue.    I also agree with you that if I had a choice between a F3 and Skookum for a traverse I&#039;d probably go with the F3 if there was going to be that much traversing and flat areas</description>

		<description>John, I just had a long conversation with Skian about punching TLT 5. It&#039;s not that easy but can be done. Personally I wouldn&#039;t do it, especially for forefoot width as you&#039;d be trying to punch the area where the boot articulates.

When I get a pair here, I&#039;ll mold foam to the inside then measure, then publish the result.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m looking for the forefoot dimensions for the tlt 5 mountain?  Anybody have the width at the forefoot?  I know that its an basic dimension but a good starting point, any experience with punching the shell, looks like it&#039;s not a good option.  For what it&#039;s worth I have heard that the forefoot width is 104mm, curious about this after trying them on in skinny skis.</description>
