Lousy liners

By spike Ranked #738 - Alpine Touring Boots November 21, 2008

I have skiied these two days so far, so it's possible my opinion could change if they break in, but I doubt they will change that much. The liners are very uncomfortable; cooking them a second time made no difference. They seem to be made of hard plastic coated with a thin layer of cloth. I'm getting numerous hot spots plus shin bang; not what I expect from a thermomoldable liner. The boots look great on paper but I'm very disappointed so far.

Another more minor criticism is the walk mode, which is barely discernable from the ski mode.

PS-I have owned a pair of Endorphins for a couple of years and they fit me quite well; I did not have to do any custom fitting beyond heat-molding. Unfotunately that will not be the case with these boots. I'd wait a year on these, hopefully Garmont will put a decent liner in them next year.
