It might work to prevent, or even protect a blister. Stings tho. Liquid bandage comes in a bottle, paints on to a hard dry surface on the skin. It might work to prevent, or even protect a blister.

I had to use toe extensions etc. as well. It seems that getting your heel into the back of the shell requires extra effort. I am not sure that the intuition liners were at fault. I think that the garmont liners work for me, especially when using the laces. David; I molded my Radium liners 3 times before I got them right. I had to use toe extensions etc. as well.

I have that boot and have been experiencing pretty severe toe constriction/pain. I tried two different Intuition liners (not the lace up) to address this problem and also the problem of the Garmont liner packing out too fast. Unfortunately the Intuition liner is very stiff in back, and this restricts rearward flex. This in turn prevented me from being able to fully straighten my leg when skinning. This not only made the forward stride on the flats exhausting (going uphill wasn't so bad because full leg extension doesn't happen), but it forced my toes up and into the front of the boot even more. I now have two black big toenails and a deeply bruised toe to show for it. The shop took the liners back (awesome customer service!) and I went through a most excruciating remolding session with the original Garmont liners with a few layers of toe caps to make adequate room for the toes. Indications are this has worked, but my toes will need to heal up a bit more before I can be sure. Careful with Intuition liners in Radiums.

Also, a question on the Radiums. Just how much extra room can be punched out in the toe box? My feet are moderately wide, but I am also concerned about the height of the toe box area. Anybody with any experience here? Did anybody ever try the Intuition Pro Tour lace-up liners?
