I've been using an older pair of deluxe indy's for the past few years. This year I've noticed that i'm getting a lot of heel lift, and the boots are generally getting a little worn out and loose in the liners. I'd like to try to get this season out of the boots. So I have been considering buying moldable liners new, perhaps from a local ski shop. Does anyone have any advice about doing this, or do I really need real hardboot liners?...the problem there being access to fitting. Alternatively, should I not waste my energy with these boots and buy something new?

I ride a prior 187wcrm wide, td3's. New England, variety of conditions.

any help appreciated

I'm using some used Scarpa Intuition liners in my AF700s. Work great. Any moldable ski boot liner will work as long as they are the correct size and height. I know sierra trading post had a good price on new moldable ski boot liners. Might check there and see if they might have any in your size. Just got a like new set of ZipFit liners from e-bay for $10!

I went to Surefoot and had an orthotic and injected Conformable liner made. These are incredible. They grab your ankles and hold them in place. I'm going on 4 years with these and they are just as good as they were on day 1.

Give a call down to the Starting gate in Stratton Vt. I know its a bit of a hike for you but I bet it would be one of the best rides you have taken.

Starting Gate sells the Dalbello ID Liner, which rocks. They do a good job of molding liners there too, but they are not hardbooters. I'd also recommend checking out Equipe at the Stratton base and asking for Steph. She is a hardbooter and they are a great shop!
