jonm, place the boot shell on a bench/table bit of floor facing you, make sure the tonuge of the liner is tucked inside where it should be, point the toes in, and press the liner down from either side of the heel, you will fold the liner slightly into a Z shape around the heel but this is fine, watch out for bits catching on the front of the shell, keep the pressure pushing the liner in slow if you go to fast you will skin your knuckles.... when the liner goes round the corner you can then remove your hands form the back and just press on the top of the cuff... there is very little chance of you damaging the footbed doing this
what model is it again, some are harder than others
when you get really good you will be able to do ti with one hand!!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I found this tricky too. I got them about halfway in and then used my feet to push them the rest of the way! 
Won't be taking them out again in a hurry!

Hi CEM - thanks for that, will try now.
They're Nordica Easymove 12 or something like that.

Yes I seem to remember you doing it in about 4 seconds flat!

Don't you take the footbeds out of the liners first?

jonm, just make sure that everything is really dry and then put some talc powder on the outside of the liners, they will slip in easy then.
Plus smell a bit better

Frosty the Snowman, dunno  They're pretty inflexible so I wouldn't fancy my chances of getting them back in if the liners were back in the boots.

With my Lange Comp Pros, I have to put the liner on my foot first, lace it up tight, then spread the shell and press the whole package in (not normal for most boots,but a major friction situation)...I find rubbing a bar of soap around on the major contact points of the liner and the shell, then rub a little "moisture" on the liner along the major contact points lets it slide right in much easier than "dry". I try to avoid silicone spray because, well, it's silicone spray and a bar of soap and some spittle goes a long way... The soap residue lasts for several days and does not affect the liner or shell at all really. Forcing liners in with too much force can risk some seam damage and tearing due to high-friction in spots. The tallc suggestion works too...although I had a small bottle of talc come apart in my gear bag once and make a major (nice smelling) mess! The bar of soap seems to behave nicely.

exoticskis, my Nordica Dobermans had laces as well but I eventually decided that the difficulty of getting laced up liners in to cold shells was not compensated for by such increased performance and removed the laces to use them conventionally.
However, the laces are hanging on the back of my door... I may see what I think today after 3 seasons without...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I don't take mine out - especially not after CEM declared them to be a tight fit as he gritted his teeth and pushed.... (Nordica GTS8 women's)

jonm, I just fully open the shells and then with a hand inside the liner push it in toe first until the toe is 'round the bend' of the boot. Then I press down on the heel (from the inside) until it goes all the way in. A bit of effort is required but it works. Helps if the shells are warm too. Like Frosty the Snowman, says, I don't put the footbeds back until after the liners are back in place.

You know it makes sense.

Mine were a bug to get back in too so after a reasonable number of attemots I ended up putting them on my feet and then stepping into the boots carefully. Seemed to be the easiest way in the end, not sure if it harms them though doing that, hope not, I've only done it once so far as they were new boots.
