So I was skiing the last 5 days and of the 3 in my brand new full tilts i found my feet getting a tad wet
So tonight when i got home i ran water over the boot without the liners in it and found that the bottom buckle extends out of a completely open hole leading to the bolt which has enough room to let water run through it i put epoxy on it and it completely fixed the problem

if anybody else has this problem this is how to fix it

ill post pics in a bit

thx

i noticed that!!! i put duct tape over it it solved every thing.
has anyone noticed that the intuition liners hold sweat moisture in like cazy and if you dont properly take the liner out it will never dry.
