Sean_T_Stevenson Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_hehn Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underworld Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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.

tomtom Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Another option: Boot fitters can soften the plastic shell and create extra room. PMS mentions it on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
