Ben and Lou, thanks for the tips. I will do just that. I have a very high arch but thin calves that sometimes makes it tricky for a good fit. Usually this results in some slight movement around the ankle area which isn’t so great. So it looks like the Pro Tour is out of the question.

Exactly what Ben said. I’d add that the Intuition Pro Tour seems to work pretty well, but it does have a wad of velcro where the removable tongue attaches, and if your boot has a tight shell fit and you’ve got a high volume foot, the thickness in that area can be tough to deal with as it doesn’t mold out.

Philip, I’d recommend contacting Intuition directly. They’re very helpful in such matters.

Hi Lou,
I am thinking of getting an Intuition liner for my Dynafit Zero C (3 buckles). As I recall you use an Intuition liner for your Zero C 4. Could you recommend a liner and size? My Dynafits are 29.5 Mondo. Would a US size 11 work with this? Any recommendations would be much appreciated as I am in Austria with no access to a dealer close by. Europe for all its ski tour access and equipment doesn’t have much to offer in custom liner solutions (Strolz being the exception but I don’t think their system works so well for ski touring).

Thanks!

The Dynafit Titan (and ZZeus) liner stretches out a bit but IMO not as much as the Intuition liner. I fit the Dynafit liner very well so didn’t need much bootwork at all.

As your bootfitter notes its possible but difficult to punch the forefoot much because of the soles. Also because AT boots tend to have slightly thinner plastic to save a bit of weight. You can punch AT boots but you have to be careful and do it in small incremental steps. But I’m not a bootfitter so this is second-hand knowledge.

I suspect that both the Pro Tour and Luxury liners would be more customizable than the stock but I would also maybe lean to the Luxury rather than the Pro Tour unless you’re trying to soften up the Titan at the same time as improve fit. Also I have generic ankles (neither thick nor thin); I found the medium Pro Tour to be not quite enough room in the ankles so I had to reef down buckles for heel hold; while the medium Luxury was fine in terms of volume of liner. Is there any way to check out the fit in person? Sorry to be so vague but its very difficult to offer more than generalities over this medium
