I could not get the stock liner to fit me properly las year so bought intuitions. They are very warm and resistant to packing out.

I've been in scarpa intuition liners until last season with no problems, and I now have frostbite from a few cold ski days here in CO with the radiums. I've also noticed a decent amount of folks putting aftermarket intuition liners in their radiums (think I saw a davenport photo on this site as such). Is there some sort of consensus on garmont vs. intuition liners and how warm they are? I'm trying to decide if I need to get a new liner or just chop off my big toes.

Of course fit is personal, but they lost a lot sales from people like me who used to love Garmonts. There is so much volume over the instep in the shell of the Radiums I literally could not buckle the instep buckle enough to even make contact with my foot there, even with Intuitions in them it wasn't very good. I was bummed because otherwise it seems like a great boot. Maybe the Dalbello Virus will be an option for us low volume foot people... I think Garmont kind of goofed up with the fit of the Radium.

Garmont has apparently chosen to make their different boots models fit differently. The Axons have a shorter shell size to the Megarides, and, the Radium has a longer shell size that may feel smaller than the same size in another boot. I know from trying on the Axons; that they will not work for me. I have yet to try on the Radiums, but I will say; when I find something that works for me, I will continue to patronize the company that makes the product. In this case, I feel that I am starting over in my boot selection process. Bar I am another Megaride user looking for a replacement boot.
