How long should Intuition liners generally last?

I always wonder this too. Someone help OP and I out.

Full Tilt Descendant boots? I got a pair for this season and I had holes in my liners in under a week and the liner is now so blown out after 2 moths it looks like I skied em for two seasons. Worst boot I have ever encountered, I wouldn't even give them away

The liners are starting to separate? I don't think I would've guessed a liner issue based on what you're describing. Then again I don't think I would have guessed anything if you mostly have problems when you're backseat bc no gear can protect you from back seat hurt.

What exactly do you mean by separation? Are the different layers of foam separating internally?

Manufacturers' warranty (if there is one), typically start from the day you purchased the product, not so much the number of days you've ridden them. If your boots are only 1-2 years old from purchase, I'd at least try and file a warranty claim. Landing backseat or not, liners should not be separating that soon.

As far as how long intuition last, that is kind of subjective on what you perceive to be packed out to the point of requiring new liners. General consensus seem to be that they'll last significantly longer than most other non-intuition stock liners. However, my last pair of FTs seem to be another story. Mine came with their pro wrap intuition liner (stiffest stock FT liner I believe) which were pretty soft to begin with and were packing out signficantly after a heat mold and 40-ish days of riding. YMMV.

My Krypton Intuition Liners are way stiffer and so are the aftermarket intuition liners. I expect they'll last much longer than my FTs before I start to detect any pack out.

Most I have seen have got out 100-120 days out of an intuition. It’s generally a bit less then a stock liner at about 150ish. You. Want a liner that last go baller and get foam injection. Those things last years but also cost more then Alicia boots haha

Don’t care if I get hate but I’ve put 400+ days on 3 pairs of FTs with the power wrap intuition. If you get them sized down enough packing out shouldn’t be an issue. Biggest issue I’ve had is the stitching coming undone but didn’t affect performance. Also the standard holes getting ripped in the outside of the liner but also a non issue. I only buy new boots when the toe or heel get ground down too far to be reliable. Getting 40 or so days and the liner being too packed sounds like a bad shell fit to me. If it’s “separating” it sounds defective or abused in some way, never experienced this in any of my 10 years of intuitions. Love them and wouldn’t consider riding anything else period.

Yeah, there is an internal layer (layer closest to the foot) that is separating from the rest of the liner in both liners in the heel area. It is folding up/bunching and causing the heels to crease. It (apparently) causes pain along my achilles region. The pain is felt most prominently when I get back seat on landings. Its a weird place to get pain and I've never had it before putting like 25-30 days on these liners, and it started slowly and got worse. The bootfitter said he thought the pain is because the liners are coming apart.

I got these boots before the season started. Have 43 days on them. To be honest, I've stupidly only rarely pulled the liners and footbeds out after skiing to let them dry properly a few times. I'm now doing it every time. So not taking proper care of them is on me. But even given that, I don't think the liners should be as screwed up as they are. They are K2 boots and liners. The K2 website says to take them to the point of sale for warranty issues. I got them from Evo, so I'm gonna take them in. I just have a feeling the Evo guys aren't going to understand shit about what I show them.

I read online that Intuition says their liners are good for at least 100 days.

K2 boots with Intuition liners. Did your FT's come with Intuitions?

Is it just the inner lining of the liner which has come loose? If so I have had that before on a K2 liner and they should warranty that no problem for you. But I dont think it will be causing you any pain in the boot, especially if you get the pain landing backseat as taht would be pushing your feet forward not back into the liner.

What is the issue you have with the heel and ankle area?

But in terms of the liner just take them back to where you got them with your receipt and you should be all good.

Yeah I am worried you are right and that new liners may not fix the pain i'm getting. But the pain did come on slowly and get worse as the liners broke in and then broke down. So yeah the inside lining has come loose and is bunching and the bootfitter says this is causing the heels to crease.

I'm gonna take them in to Evo today and try to warranty them. I have some other liners I'll have to use in the meantime I guess.

Yeah I really don't think the liner is causing the problem. I had an old sample liner which fully delaminated inside but you could not actually feel it in the slightest. Have evo check out the fit of the shell and see why the heel may be hurting.

Hopefully evo can just send pics of the liner so you can keep on skiing in them.
