Repairing SPK liners?

So I've been using my SPK's since 2009, and as you will see in the pictures, the liners are starting to get a bit torn up. Both are coming apart at the seams, which makes it pretty difficult to put them back in the shell, and are ripped on the inside. The shells are fine and I love these boot, so id like the get as many seasons out of them as possible. So does anyone have any tips/how to's on repairing boot liners? If its not even possible are there any aftermarket ones I should check out? Thanks

Email Salomon and ask if you can buy new liners off them. otherwise you can buy seperate surefoot liners and use those, that way you can probably get a pretty good fit in the shell of the boot still. I always recommend going to a boot fitter, and getting personal fitting, but if that isnt an option then the above is the way to do it IMO.

If your shells still have lots of life in them, you can extend the life of those boots by quite a bit with some intuition liners. Powerwraps are awesome and you can find them for about $180 including the fitting at most shops.

should seal it up. Or some glue and sturdy fabric over the tear.

But for your next boots, you should get into the habit of removing your liners out of your shells at night. This helps them dry and will extend their life. The white build up on your liner is a tell tale sign of moisture. also get a better footbed than what is stock in the spk! seriously anything is better then that furry cardboard they put in there.
