By Ranked #341 - Alpine Touring Boots October 22, 2008

I've got very wide forefeet and very skinny ankles and wanted to pack out the heel area of my Spirit 4s, or add a bit of padding over the top of my foot. (I can lift my heel very slightly inside the boot). My local boot fitter seems to be clueless when it comes to these boots / Intuition liners, so does anyone know where I can buy some kind of product for this purpose so that I can go it alone?

Intuition liner is heat moldable. so try that first with a proper boot warming device. Also you may go to any pharmacy and get a heal cup... a soft rubbery insert that only covers the heal, but may give you a little lift. they only cost $5. start there, maybe even try a slightly thicker sock. and a word of caution: where I'm from "packing out" the boot's liner means that you're essentially making the inside of the boot larger... which is NOT what you want to do.
