Alveolite Liners?

[Hugh Conway]

How much warmer are they than the standard liners? Extra volume/decreased foot space? How do they compare to intuition foam liners?

[Dane]

Alveolite liners generally come with the boots so fit should be good. The Intuition is generally thicker than any Alveolite I have had in the past from several makers, seems better made and easier to get in and out of. Biggest advantage in prolonged cold weather (Alaska) of either is your liners stay dry.

 

There has been a concern on how much space is available in the boot shell with the Intuition but the extra warmth and the totally custom fit to your feet has been worth the effort and expense for me on the Intuition.

 

Best boot fitter I have seen in a long time is Martin @ Sturtevants in Bellevue.

Thanks! I'm familiar with Intuitions from ski boots - never seen an Alveolite in the flesh that I remember and am replacing the stock non-Alveolite liners on my Invernos. Mostly concerned with warmth because of frost bite history on my feet.

 

Wonder if the cheap intuition snowboard liners are still around?
