"Stupidly cheap" Intuition thermofit liners was created by RRandall
Don't know if anyone's seen the thread on telemarktips about the Morrow snowboard boot liners they're selling for $5/pair at cheapsnowboards.com. I took a chance on a set of size 9 for my Scarpa T3s. The product that arrived several weeks after my order are labeled "Morrow" on the top, and down on the heel they say "Intuition, Vancouver, BC". They weigh 125g/ea, vs 482g/ea for my stock sewn T3 liners. I put them in a convection oven at 300F for about 15 minutes, put them on over a thin sock and lots of toe padding (Molefoam), then stuck them into the T3s and buckled up. I now have T3s that weight about the same as my old Asolo Snopines! Gadzooks! They thermoformed quite well, making nice deep ankle cups and whatnot. I should mention that they run about 1 to 1.5 sizes smaller than Scarpa sizes. My T3s are size 8.5 and the size 9 Morrow liners are probably 3/8" shorter than the stock sewn liners. They shrink some in thickness during thermoforming-- I think I'll be able to wear two pair of sock inside the boots comfortably even though I formed with a thin single sock.<br><br>Cheapsnowboards.com advertises their stuff as "stupidly cheap". How liners worth $130 can sell for $5 is beyond me, but they seem to be the genuine article. The Telemarktips.com thread is about 7 pages long on this subject.<br><br>

I ordered some of these and baked them for my 2000 T2's -- They fit much nicer now and boot weight dropped from 8 lbs for my pair of size 10.5 US to 6.4 lbs! <br><br>The liners aren't real tall, so while they are tall enough (barely) for T2's they aren't tall enough for T1's (rats!)

I used size 11 liners. I wear an 11US street shoe., but Scarpas seem to run a little big, paticularly for me, as my feet are slightly narrower than "average"<br><br>Once baked the liner foam is firmer than the standard liners. Better control.
