Deadshred's post about orthotics reminded me of a question I've had bouncing around my head lately. Has anyone here ever tried foam injected liners in their snowboard boots. I have UPS boots so I know the liners would fint. I just wonder if I'd notice a dramatic difference from the Raichle Thermoflex liners I have in them now. Any thoughts?

Comform'able is the brand I'm most familiar with, but I know there are others. They mostly have a traditional tongue set up, rather than an overlap.

My fiancee went into to get thermoflex liners and after two hours the guy said he could not help her and had her leave. She then went a surefoot store and had the comfomable liner done. She has a very low volume foot and this is the first time that she has had a boot that fit properly. If you have a low volume foot it might be worth while, but if not they are very expensive.

Much stiffer than thermoflex! Firmer fit as well. Almost painful molding process. One shot deal! Very Pricey. Well worth it for the over 30 days rider.:)

I am using a Strolz foam injected liner with custom made foot beds in almost all my boots (AF700, 121 and Northwave 900...)
The liner is a traditional tongue set up... works really great since these really fit very tight around your ankle. Almost no packing out after half the day...
The process of forming the liner is a bit painful, but we all know that this only means perfect fit later on.
They are also a bit pricy, but again, your foot/boot MUST fit perfect or NO fun for long... my opinion
I can highly recommend them.

used to use injected liners from SIDAS (conform'able line)
They are the ones most pro riders use, are prettystiff and helped made my too soft shells stiffer (and more comfy too).

Its really great but the pressure can be unbearable just when you stop riding (entering queue lines) and you often need to release buckles a bit cos feet just get all blood pressure back and it hurts!
