Plastic Boot Decision

[Buckaroo]

""I have a 17 year old pair of koflack vario extrem's. any chance of fitting the intuition liners in these antiques?""

 

No problem. $150-$160. Pro Mountain Sports, Feathered Friends, or Marmot in Bellevue.

If your boot size is 8, 9, or 10, the Morrow (Intuition) liners are still available for $30.

Hey hopper

 

This thread has some folks talking about their experience fitting Intuitions into their boots.

Seems like the consensus is to go a little larger -- that's what they do at the Intuition factory anyway. That $30 price is pretty sweet, but I tried to ask them (at sidewayspeople.com) what particular model they're carrying, as there are a few listed on the Intuition web site. I never heard back from them. The Denali model at www.intuitionsports.com is cut quite a bit lower than the others.

 

And back to the original thread, regarding the Vasque Ice 9000's, like many technical pieces of gear, fit is important. I tried really hard to like these boots, but they were brutally uncomfortable on my foot.

[Mr_Phil]

They are pretty simple liners. They were made for snowboards and they look like a normal inner boot with a tongue. The material throughout the boot is uniform. I have a pair in my Koflach Verticals. The height is about the same as the stock liner, and they work fine.

 

I baked them at home in the oven.

thanks for the advice phil & bearman. for $39 it's worth a try. i also talked to the mountain shop here in pdx and they have intuitions in stock if it doesn't work out.

The Asolo Ottomilla 8000's are probably the best plastic boot made. I've never worn them but that is what friends tell me.

All Koflach boots suck bad and are exclusivley for gumby snow sloggers.
