Full Tilts have gone from comfy and warm to cold and painful

Before anyone says anything, I got my Full Tilts fitted by Larry in Boulder 4 years ago. Footbeds, heat molded, shell punched, canting, the whole shebang.

This season I'm getting a lot of pain on my inner ankles as well as sharp forefoot pressure on one foot. Both of which I've never had before. I'm also getting very cold toes and wet liners everyday, also something that's never happened prior. I'll probably end up going back to Larry in the next few weeks but does anyone have thoughts as to why I'm having these problems now?

Sounds like your liners could be at the end of the road. That could explain why your getting pain where you hadn't had it before and also why its more damp/cold than usual (the foam could have lost some of its insulating ability and could be just too far packed out at this point to bounce back) - just a guess

Throw a replacement set of Intuitions in them and good as new?

In the future, we have this helpful little thread:

4 years = how many days of skiing for you?

If you have over 150, your liners are toast and that is probably the source of your problem. Do you remove them so they can dry after each ski day? If you don't do this, it will for sure cause them to die faster. And probably be a bit damp/colder the next day you use them.

thanks, definitely not 150 days though. Only about 75 I'd say (sad I know), I don't always remove my liners. I think leaving them in combined with leaky boots solves that problem.
