Lange boots + Intuition liners?

Anybody have any experience using intuition liners in their lange boots? If so, what boot do/did you ski and with which type of liner? I'm currently looking into getting Lange RX 130's or 120's, but I was really unimpressed by the liners, and have been a big fan of intuition power wraps in my last few boots.

im not all too impressed with the intuition liners, i think the new surefoot liner is really sick, but not cheap at all and don't get sucked into thier footbeds which are not so great, i'd get a surefoot foam injected custom liner with a better footbed from a different bootfitter.

Well, I have the rx 130 pro, love them, the liner is good. I bought new sole and it's perfect.

If it's not the same liner it's very similar.

I have super narrow feet, so I'm looking to fill a little space in the forefoot.

I know that the first thing to say would be "find boots that fit your feet" but I'm somewhat restricted to langes here, and these are my options.

you can put an intuition liner in any boot. beware, intuitions are kinda uncomfortable before they're molded

This is great advice. Surefoots liners are good, but they are really just sidas liners so you could get one of those and save money. Surefoots footbeds are awful though so defiantly do not get those.

Overall a foam injection liner will give you the best fit possibly and they also last way longer then intution. The only downside they a sometimes a little cold, but I have never found it a huge problem.

Yeah I was deciding between full tilts or the Lange just cause the wrap liner seems awesome ( I got bad shin bang in my ghosts) so I'm a little apprehensive to not get the wrap liners but the Lange liners seem solid so we shall see

Wrap liners will not stop shin bang so dont worry about that. The best thing to stop shin bang is a well fitting boot. It may be that you if your ghosts are the right size that you just need some boot work doing. You could put a foam injection liner in the ghost and it could be awesome.

Your probably best taking your boots into a good bootfitting shop (not surefoot, the will just try to sell you a boot no matter how your old ones fit) and have them asses the fit. If you dont have footbeds that could also be why your boots dont fit well.

There's no reason why an Intuition won't work in a pair of Langes.  Just make sure you get the proper weight(density) of liner.  Luxury Liners are much thicker than the race liners.  Pick the appropriate model for your application.

I have Intuitions in all three of my boots.  Krypton Pros, Cochise 120s, and Agent BC, and they are all great.

i have the blaster 90, i changed out the sole. That's all that i felt was necessary intuition liners are nice to have, but arent really needed.

Yeah that's what I was told... The ghosts are a little big so that's the issue there... I love the stance on the lange's... The ramping? Idk what its called but they just sit so comfortably and the 130 flex was a little intimidating untill I put it on and felt how smooth it flexes (I'm also around 200lbs with gear)

Well what I would do then is go for the Lange with a good custom footbed. Stick with the standard liner at first. If you dont like it you can always swap it out. But finding a good shell fit and appropriate flex and leg angle are the most important things.

LOL to the guy who said surefoot make good footbeds, they are actually one of the worst footbeds you can get, there not even really custom.

Superfeet are slightly better but the best you can get is a well made Sidas conformable.

The issue is you need a very good boot fitter to make one. A Sidas footbed made by a bad bootfitter will be as bad as a surefoot or superfeet kork.

Do your research and find the best bootfitter you can. This may well mean a road trip but it will be worth it.

Custom-made ones.  From your bootfitter.

I use Soles.  But that's because it's the brand that my bootfitter stocks and fits.
