boot liner question

[Sean_T_Stevenson]

I recently purchased a pair of Lowa Civetta GTX Extreme boots (not much choice in the matter, as my feet are size 15), but I was wondering how the stock Gore-Tex/Thinsulate inner boot compared to an aftermarket liner like the intuitions? I have a very straight foot, and I noticed some pressure between my big toes and the inner side of the toe box - not much, but I'm guessing that any at all is a problem? My feet fit no prob in the shells, so maybe it would be more comfortable with custom liners? Any opinions appreciated.

I believe the Civettas have a relatively thin liner and the intuition is thick enough that it may not fit, especially if your fit is already snug. It could be that you would have to go 1/2 to a full size larger boot. I've heard good feedback on the intuitions - warm and comfortable and light weight. They may be too bulky for Civettas though. Of course, you can always go to a shop (Marmot) and give them a try.

I have intuitions in my civettes. The boots fit alright before hand and fit great now. buttt- as always, feet and people are different. Like gary said, go to a shop w/ your boots and figure it out.

Another option: Boot fitters can soften the plastic shell and create extra room. PMS mentions it on their website.
