Intuition Liner Help

[Type_III_Skier]

I just got a pair or Lange RX 130 LV's and I kind of want to try out an intuition liner. I ski aggressively and fast, but like to be in control.

I have never used any aftermarket liner for my boots and even though I know a ton when it comes to boots, I am pretty green when it comes to product knowledge with aftermarket liners. If anybody here could spread some knowledge I'd greatly appreciate it. Which model? Wrap? Lace? etc...

Curious as well..packed out my old boot liners looking for new ones as well.

It will depend on how much space you have and how the shell fit is. You may find you need a low profile liner if the shell is tight. If you have more room then a mid may work better. Go have a fitter assess how much space you have and advise which will fit. I made the mistake of going for a mid volume liner when I only had room for a low and ended up having to sell the liners as they were too tight to use.

I got the rx 130 boots as well, I'm wondering how a power wrap would work in them because if I get intuition I'm definitely not getting a lace up

I would email their customer service. I asked them if they thought a liner would work for my old boots that were too big, and rather than lying to make a buck, they politely said I should buy new boots. Seems like an honest company who you can trust their responses

Which liner is going to depend completely on how your boots fit and what it is you're trying to accomplish. Typically people who are in RX 130 LVs are looking for more performance and more warmth. As most people in a LV have a very snug fit typically I do a tongue, either the Plug Race or Pro Tongue typically, in fact come to think of it I've only ever done a wrap in an RX 130 LV once and that was because the guy already had boot and liner and just needed them fit. Not to say it's a bad idea, I just haven't ran into a boot/foot combo where it was more appropriate than a tongue style liner. You'll wanna see a fitter to know for sure which is best.

I love my Langes but they get cold as fuck

You and everyone else lol, try an intuition or in the meantime put thermal ducting tape (the foil kind) on the bottom of the liner and over the toes (of the liner). Doesn't help tremendously but it does help.

Intuition liners are amazing. I use the powerwrap in a full plug boot (nordica dobermann edt wc 130). I went with the powerwrap over the tongue liners since I have very skinny heels and ankles and the powerwrap takes up the most space in the ankle area.

The nice thing about the intuition liners is you can compress the hell out of them if you need more space in certain areas. I have to clamp the toe box area of my liners to make extra room for my toes. But you can get the intuition material pretty much paper thin if you try, you just have to get creative with some wood and some C-clamps. The liners are so resilient that they'll re-poof back up after a few weeks, so I just re-flatten the toe box area as needed. Kind of a pain, but worth it for the performance. My heels and ankles are completely locked in place.

If you don't have skinny ankles you should probably go with one of the lower volume tongue liners as others have suggested. It all depends on how much room you are looking to fill and where.
