Unlike you, I have severe shin pain. I have lost all the hair off my shins and now have small blisters in a line going up my shins. I have had a extra piece of plastic attached to the outer shell tongue to distibute pressure, and a velcro foam shin pad (called The Eliminator) attached to the inside of the liner tongue to lessen the pain. I also wear Smart Wool socks with extra padding on the shins. However, after two hours of touring or skiing my shins are bright red. Beyond two hours is bruising and blistering. The boots are a good fit, but the liners just don't protect my shins. Which Intuition liner has the most padding or distribution of pressure in the tongue? My feet are very low volume with narrow heels. I will be visiting Salt Lake City in twelve days. Some stores sell Intuition liners in Salt Lake. I would like to narrow down which liner is best for "shin bang" in the Mega Ride boot before I walk into these stores. I think I'm looking for a liner with a stiff tongue (distribute pressure) and lots of padding. What do you think? I'm a desprite man, please help.

Can't hurt. as or the Intuition liners, if they're taller than your boot shell cuff and still comfortable, then it's a non-issue. But if they bother your calf because the back is too tall, then yeah, something to consider. You can figure that out before they're molded by doing a fitting. Jamie, I’d try a remold first.

I've been out touring around 20 days so far this year, and with each outing I'm noticing more and more play in around my right ankle to the extent that I'm struggling to keep the ski pointing in the right direction some times! Disregarding what is probably partially down to lack of technique, I'm thinking that the liners might be past it. Is it worth trying to remould the originals to regain some of the support in the area, or should I look into replacing them with intuitions? If the intuition route, does anyone know if the new touring liners are compatible with the slightly shorter cuff of the women's mega rides? Thanks for any help!

One pair was bought used with a single mold on them and one pair was of the infamous $20 Morrows. The last came stock with Scarpa Tornado. All work great, and I cooked all of them in my home oven. I hope the DIY continues to be possible...i.e. no fancy materials or designs are added that require a blower. I have Intuition liners in two pairs of AT boots and one pair of plastic climbing boots.

Can you recommend one of the new intuition liners? I have Garmont Ener-G fit boots and was thinking about the New Pro Liner or the Godiva. Any advice would be greatly appreciated for happy touring ventures :) I love my intuition liners but they are 5 years old and have worn holes on both inside heals to the point where I get blisters everytime I go skinning.
