Alpine Intuition Liners In Telemark Boots?

I'm getting into Telemark skiing and bought a pair of Garmont Ener-g Tele boots and my other boots (il Moro's) are the same size. Does using my Alpine liners in tele boots affect anything? Would it even work?

I don't think it will work, I'm pretty sure Telemark boots are shorter (have a lower cuff) than Alpine boots so the liners will be much taller than the cuff. Also, when an Intuition Liner is heat molded, it not only molds the inside of the boots, it also molds the outside of the boots so they're molded to your Il Morros.

It would probably work, as in you could tele in them but Intuition make a touring style liner that lets you get more forward lean which would be a much better option

Just make sure the liners are the same length, if they are you can definitely try it. Once you re-heat mold the Dalbello liners, they will take the internal shape of the tele boot's shell. I've done this with aftermarket Full Tilt liners in tele boots, A/T boots, and all kinds of alpine boots. As long as they are the same length and roughly the same thickness, it should work out ok.
