Toe-bang/Intuition Re-mold Question

I have Intuition Power wrap liners with an assload of days on them, and they've packed out a bit...enough that when I land I can feel my feet slide forward slightly and it's killing my toes. If I have them re-molded will the foam expand enough to make them feel like they did originally?

This is just a temporary fix until I can ball out and get a new set of boots from a bootfitter. If I can't fix it with a mold or footbeds I might buy a new set of Power wraps to get me through the season because these are getting pretty painful.

How many times have they been remolded? My fitter told me that they can be remolded up to like 5~6 times so puffing it up again could work

Get a booster strap? Not sure if that'll help with toe bang though, and as said above, if you haven't molded them to many times, it may work, but even if you've only done it once or twice, it probably shouldn't be guaranteed. Try tightening the middle buckle more to?

They've only been molded once, a booster strap isn't going to do anything but I am currently playing with tightening some buckles to try to fix it too.

As a matter of interest what model/year are they? The flex will help.

They are some original SPK's, I think the flex is 90? Tons of days on them, when the original liner packed out I put an Intuition in and it was an awesome park boot for a few more years. Well used at this point though.

If your liners are packed out, unfortunatly remolding will make little differnce. They may feel better for half a day, but it will pack straight out again very fast.

Overall, it sounds like a footbed may be the best for you. It would stop you sliding forward in the boot and thus stop or help prevent toe bang. But it does sound like you need new liners possibly too, if that the case just get a new boot, it will be teh most cost effective.

Debating just buying a new pro liner for my FTs vs buying a whole new boot. More cost effective how?
