Custom Molded Liners
Most ski boots come with a liner that the manufacturer has been made for that shell. Depending on the model, these liners can be mouldable and in many cases the fit is very good. However, for a superior fit, Boot Solutions offer two main types of after-market custom moulded ski boot liners, each has its own advantages depending on the end-result you are searching for.
Intuition Heat Molded Foam Liners
These liners are the warmest and most general in fit. The impression that the liners take of the foot is good, but not as accurate as the injected type.
This type of liner takes the least amount of time to ski-in and can be very comfortable after only a short while skiing. These liners do well for people who don’t ski a lot, or whose objective is general comfort and warmth.
This type of liner is also a good option for people who like to do a bit of hiking, as they are usually seamless in design, ensuring that friction is minimised.
ZipFit Cork Injected Liners
These are a great option for people wanting a more accurate fit in a liner that will last long term, for example for skiers who ski 100 plus days in a season. These liners tend to have most of the moldable material based around the mid-to-rear foot and on the shins, resulting in a good tight fit in the places where it is best to have maximum support whilst leaving the forefoot and toes free to spread out.
These liners are the least technical to fit and usually fully remoldable and can have additional cork injected to reduce volume when necessary, meaning that if necessary the process can be repeated multiple times over time to continue having the right fit.
