 Poster: A snowHead
|
Afternoon All
I have had a pair of Tecnica Diablo Fire's for the past four years and after much tweaking they have been perfect.
I've done about 12 weeks skiing on them and the linings are now packed out.
My feet are sliding to the front of the boot and thicker socks are needed to correct this but that obviously leads to pain in
areasthat are now too tight.
I really don't want to replace the boot as it took so long to get them right. I have some seriosly customised footbeds that will be
moving whatever the end result is.
So what I want to know is this. What is the best replacement liner that I can get for them?
Do Tecnica do such a thing?
I tried some custom liners in Canada a couple of years ago but found that the Tecnica ones were still better as they had the large tongue as opposed to the wrap-around style of custom liners (well, these custom liners anyway).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Jack

You can get other replacement liners that don't have the wrap-around fit. Intuition, for example, offer both wrap and tongue style liners. ZipFit is another worth looking at.
Drop CEM a line, as he'll be best placed to advise, although Bicester may be a bit of a treck from Cheshire.

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

[quote="feef"] The Intuition ones were the wrap-around ones that I got in Canada.
There isn't enough room in those for a footbed with my feet which are a strange shape.
The last time I tried Intuition liners was in 2010 and they were still the same. The new ones appear to have the same base lining.
I wonder if Tecnica sell replacement linings?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Jumping Jack Flash, the factory liners are usually as dear as an aftermarket one but don't last anywhere near enough. Get yourself down to CEM's for some Zipfits which are not only excellent but when your existing shells need replacing you can put 'em in your new 'uns.

You could get Foam liners - my shells are Nordica factory ones, with custom foam liners added.
Very snug, but not the worlds most comfortable experience!
My Garmont boots have an intuition liner that is not the wrap around variety, they seem to work well too (not quite in the same league of snugness as a foam one, but pretty good)
