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.

Before I molded them they even felt a little tight, in the toe area. The size 28 radiums actually have a 3 finger shell fit, but they fit fine.
