I love these things. They are one of Intuition's simpler liners but when it comes to boots, I'm a fan of simple. They remind me of the OG Full Tilt Intuition liners which didn't require a footbed if you don't want one. Full Tilt phased them out and I was gutted to see them go because they fit me perfectly. If, like me, you loved those, these Alpine Wraps are the one.
They don't add as much stiffness as the Power Wraps but they are still stiffer than the stock Full Tilt liners. If I'm wanting to really stiffen up my boot, I reach for a Power Wrap but I'm not a huge fan of stiff boots except for riding steep terrain. The Alpine Wraps also fit more snugly size for size than the original Full Tilt liners, giving me a more locked-in but still comfortable fit. They are warm, comfortable, and fit me perfectly, I couldn't ask for more.
I now have them in a pair of K2 Dispatch touring boots and, while they don't tour particularly well, they improve the fit of those boots, which are too wide for me with the stock liners, massively. They could definitely be used to fill up space in a boot that's a bit too wide if that's something you're looking for. All in all, these are my go-to liners, and I can't really think of anything I'd want to change. - @Twig
ALPINE liners perform well in most standard shells and applications. They’re most suitable for intermediate to advanced level skiers and riders. Based on one of the original Intuition designs, the medium thickness, high-density, wrap style liner improves skier performance and endurance. 8mm thick sole provides added support and warmth under foot, making additional foot beds optional.
