Intuition Tour Tongue Liners
Being synonymous with comfort and performance, Intuition has rightfully been atop the leaderboard when it comes to high-quality after-market liners. Taking over from the venerable Pro Tour liner, the Tour Tongue has received subtle design updates that improve upon this already successful formula. As with all Intuition liners, the Tour Tongue is built using a highly customizable foam that when heated, comfortably accommodates many different foot shapes. While the main body of the Tour Tongue uses a moderately compliant dual-density foam, the toebox utilizes a low dual-density foam that aims to provide more comfort during a big day out. Purposefully designed with modern touring boots in mind, the Tour Tongue features a rear flex zone that allows you to capitalize on the impressive range of motion definitive of modern touring boots, allowing you to move quickly and efficiently. Compared to the Pro Tour, the Tour Tongue features a thinner sole thickness, a revised J-bar that allows for better heel hold and ankle support, and a sewn-in tongue for durability. Finally, the Tour Tongue is offered in three thicknesses, allowing you to select the best option for the fit of your boots.
Whether you want to add warmth, performance, or comfort to your existing touring boot, the Tour Tongue is a worthwhile upgrade.
- Fully heat-moldable for a comfortable and individualized fit.
- Low-density foam is strategically used in the toe box, helping provide comfort on big days out.
- Internal J-bar helps to lock down the heel and provide support for bony ankles.
- Rear flex zone allows you to enjoy the excellent range of motion found on modern touring boots.
- Antimicrobial treatment (helps) fight off odor-causing bacteria.
- Included 4mm high-density foam shim allows you to modify liner volume.
- 9mm is low-volume, 12mm is medium volume, and 15mm is high-volume.
Sizing guide:
- 9mm liners are appropriate for most lightweight touring boots, such as the Scarpa F1, Dynafit Ridge, etc. 9mm Intuition Tour liners are thicker than the stock liners in most lightweight boots.
- 12mm liners are appropriate for most freeride touring boots, such as the Tecnica Zero G Pro Tour, Scarpa Maestrale, etc.
- 15mm liners are only appropriate in heavier/higher volume boots, usually when the boot is too big for the user and the goal is to fill up extra space. 15mm is too thick for most touring boots, sized correctly.

I purchased a 12mm 26 liner for my Dynafit Ridge boot, and out of the box the liner feels extremely tight at the toe box. Like, couldn't keep them on for 5 minutes at home tight. Would the 9mm thickness be more appropriate? Based on a quick google it seems that the stock liner for this boot is only 5mm. TIA

Hi Garrett,
The 9mm Tour Tongue would be the right thickness! It is pretty close to the stock liner, but may be slightly thicker in some places. After heat molding, it will be a nice fit and a good replacement for stock. Intuition liners do need a good heat mold to open up the instep and the toe box, but I agree that the 12mm is too thick for most people in the Ridge boot.

Hi there! Thanks for all the help. Y'all rock.
Real quick, looking to replace original Sidas liners in some Salomon MTN Lab's, older blue and yellow versions. That liner seemed to be all right until it wore out. Wondering if you might have a suggestion for mm width with the Intuition tongue tours . . . 9, 12, 15?

Hi jer, we don't have the exact boot on hand to compare, but we do have an MTN Explore, which had a slightly thinner liner than the Lab you have. Based on that, the Medium Volume / 12mm Intuition is very likely the closest option for you.

Hi Eric,
I would go with the 9mm Tour Tongues in a 28! They may be slightly thicker than stock around the forefoot, but a heat mold should take care of that. Great liners. Alternatively, the Palau Power LT could also be a great option with a little bit thinner foam around the foot, a little closer to the stock fit.

I wear Fischer Travers CS in 26.5. That a comfort fit and after packing out the liner I have heel lift and wouldn't mind reducing volume. I'd like to try Intuition Tour Tongue Liners to snug thing up. Should I get 12mm or 15mm?
12/9/2024
Hi Matt,
Happy to help! I wouldn't really recommend either of those liners for the Travers. The 15mm will not fit, and the 12mm is still too thick to be appropriate for that boot. I understand that you're trying to take up space, but the Travers was designed around a very thin stock liner and these are simply too big to work properly.
I'd recommend a 9mm Intuition Tour Tongue if you have a preference for Intuition - it will still be a fair amount thicker than stock. Or, our go-to recommendation for a thicker liner for the Travers would be a Palau Power LT. We like the Palaus for lighter weight boots because they walk a bit better and fit well into the lightweight shells.

Hello,
I got a pair of Scarpa Maestrale RS size 26 near the end of last season. I have been to a couple boot fitters and the shell is a good fit, but I have been getting bad heel blisters. I have added a superfeet insole, experimented with heel lifters and foam around the ankle to improve the heel hold, no luck - still lots of heel movement. I am considering trying the Zipfit GFT for improved heel hold, but they sure look heavy and expensive. Do you think this Tour tongue would substantially improve the heel hold while touring? thanks

Hi pat, the Intuition Tour Tongue liners are not going to be very different from the stock liner that comes with a Maestrale. It's also made by Intuition and somewhat comparable to the 12mm thickness here. The GFT could be a good option. It does provide good heel hold when molded, though it is significantly heavier than other liner options.

Hey Pat,
Try leucotape for your heels. I get bad blisters if I don’t tape my heels and this medical tape is really sticky and stays on all day no matter how sweaty. This makes it so I can unbuckle while skinning and have more freedom/ range and no blisters

I am still skiing the Garmont Venus and they have always been too big but it’s the smallest size they made. Want to replace my old Pro Tour liners with these Tour Toungue liners but not sure if I should go 12 or 15mm. I can pretty easily fit 2 (little) fingers in for a shell fit but my husband can only do 1.5. Is there a measurement or something less subjective to decide this? Thanks
11/2/2024
Hi Emily! I think the 12mm with the addition of a heat mold would be best. Heat molding the 15mm liners may also work, but being a thicker liner, they may create fit issues elsewhere. To discuss this further, send an email to help@skimo.co and we can dive into the details. Thanks!

I bought the intuition tour tongue 12mm last year to fit in my Radical Pros and they caused me lots of discomfort. Mostly outside of the foot while touring and in my calf area while skiing. I also thought they added too much stiffness for my liking. I find the stock liners comfortable but I would like some more performance. My stock liners need to be replaced and I am wondering if I should buy the dynafit replacement liners or go with the 9mm tour tongue. Do you think the 9mm is different enough from the 12mm?
10/30/2024
Hi Mark,
Did you heat mold your new Intuition liners? They do need to be heat molded in order to have the best fit out of the box.
If you liked the stock liners, you could just buy those again! That would be the best way to assure that you know what you're getting. The 9mm Tour Tongues could work, but they are a bit thinner than the stock Radical Pro liner. The 12mm Tour Tongue is actually closer, just slightly thicker.

I'm looking for tongue style liners for the original Scarpa Aliens(the yellow boots). They're old but I still really like how these ski.
My shells are a 29(305bsl) and the stock liner worked well for me until it packed out.
Does the LV version of this liner seem like a good choice? If not can you recommend something?

Brian, The Alien are the best boots ever.. They have Intuition liners, but not these. It would be a huge stretch for the cuff of the Alien to fit over the these.
You should look at the Alien or Tour LT here - Scarpa liners.
Don't have many sizes now, will have more this season.

Howdy. Looking for recommendations for the Atomic Backland CL with the intention of gaining a little more stiffness. I use the boot both on the splitboard (with mods) and with a lightweight ski setup. I have the boot in a 27/27.5. I'm leaning towards the tongue version here in a 9mm 27. I'm assuming this is pretty similar to the stock Atomic liner? Will the wrap version provide more stability?
10/14/2024
Will, They are not quite the same liner. You should only consider the 9mm. But the overall thickness of the Intuitions will be more then your stock liner, mostly in the cuff. Nice if you have skinny legs, may be an issue if they are thick. They will add stiffness.

Hi!
Looking to replace the liner in a 2025 ZGTP. Stock liner is OK volume wise but will be too loose soon. Hurts my shin.
I skied 2023 ZGTP before, stock liner was too thin, replaced with well worn (thinned) Pro Tour MV. This liner is too thick in the cuff for the 2025 ZGTP because the designers droppen the third ladder mounting hole, genius. A relatively new MV is way to voluminous.
My shell fit is about 1". 27cm foot in 27.5 shell, need 6th toe punch and instep is tight in the 2025 boot (had to bend it on the 2023).
So I am torn between 9mm and 12mm obviously. Can you guys give me a hint?

Hi Daniel,
If a well-worn 12mm Pro Tour was too thick for you, and a new MV/12mm is definitely too thick, then I think your question has a clear answer! The 9mm is still a decently voluminous liner, it is pretty comparable to the stock liner in thickness.

Hi Madeline,
Scarpa sizes land in between regular sizes, so if you have a 24 Gea, it is possible that you could make the size 23 liner work! However, the 24 will provide a little bit more foam, so you could also wait for that. We do anticipate getting more stock of these in soon!

What is an appropriate replacement thickness for a dynafit Radical stock liner? I tend to need to clamp down on the cuff buckles pretty hard in order to get a tight enough fit so I am erring on the side of the 9mm or the 12mm but could use some guidance here.

Hey Ari, are you just looking for a direct replacement for the Radical Pro liner? If so, we carry those here. For the Intuition Tour Tongue Liner, the 9mm is pretty comparable to what comes stock with the boot, so I would shoot for the 12mm to start. As always, it's recommended also to get these heat molded to get the best shape possible.

Hey Zak, I find your advice a little confusing. I am looking for an upgrade on my now worn out radical liners are you suggesting the 12mm because the added thickness might make for a better fit than the stock liner (and the 9mm) based on my comment that I seem to have needed added clamping pressure on my cuffs? Maybe you could help me better understand how to interpret the 9/12mm thickness difference. Is that thickness difference everywhere in the liner or is the difference isolated to mostly the cuff area? The lower part of boot is already pretty snug and I am a bit shy about adding more thickness in the lower part of the shell. Sorry if this is stupid and annoying. I am both of those things. Thank you so much for your help and patience!

Hey Arnold, yes, going with 12mm to take up more room than the Radical Pro liner would give you. Also, yes cuff thickness will vary around the ankle area and cuff when going from the 9/12/15mm Pro Togue liners, and for folks looking to take up general volume, the 12mm tends to be an excellent middle ground after it's molded.

Hello! I'm in the Scott Celeste Tour 25.5. I really don't like the tongue on the stock liners (comes up very high and sits awkwardly with a larger calf). They also rub because I don't use any insole (including the stock insole) and there is exposed stitching along the sole. Interested in swapping to intuitions and hoping it may stiffen up the boot a bit too. Do you have any recommendations on size and volume? The boots have been punched out pretty aggressively in the toe box (and liner stretched). Would the 9mm 25 be appropriate? Thank you!

Hello Jess,
The Intuition liners are nicer or a Lot nicer then most stock liners.
Sounds like you have a wide foot for a 25.5, so you are correct, the 9mm liner would be for you. And 25 is it. They will only change the flex a bit, more then other replacement liners.

Hi Joel,
The LV Tour Tongue would be the best choice - it's similar to the stock thickness. The MV would be much thicker, probably too much for that boot (for most people). I don't think you will gain much stiffness from the switch, but maybe a little.

I wear a size 7.5 women's shoe but am rocking a 23.5 Tecnica Zero G Tour women's boots because my foot is so damn narrow. My toes are always a bit crunched. After the original Tecnica Zero G liners were packed out (in the heel and across the width of my foot), I replaced them with a size 23 Intuition Pro Tour liners (2022-2023 model w/laces). Those are now packed out, and I am looking to replace them. Would you recommend going with size 23 Intuition tour tongue liners? I assume a 24 would not fit into my 23.5 boot (true?), and I am hoping to retain the narrowness across my foot (although I would love more length in my toes!). Any advice is appreciated. Thank you from Seattle! Love your store.
4/15/2024
Hi Emily,
You probably could put a 24 liner in there, but I would lean towards the 23. When you go to a bigger liner in a smaller boot it tightens things up, which can be counterintuitive, but essentially what you're doing is just shoving more material into the boot which will take up more space.
My recommendation if your toes are crunched would be to do an aggressive heat mold of the Intuitions, with the right toe cap (or maybe even two toe caps), to create as much toe space as you can. If that isn't enough, a good boot fitter could add a little bit of room length-wise at the big toe or wherever your pressure point is. The Tecnica Pro Tour/Tour Scout punches pretty easily.

Is the 12mm too much for my Salomon Mtn Summit? I have a wide forefoot and thin ankles and calves. With the stock liner, I’m getting some heel lift and I’m using all available space on the main buckle (cannot pull it any tighter). Would the 9mm also increase volume around the calf and shin vs the stock liner? I’ve got a 2 finger shell fit. Should I consider a 9mm tour wrap (or even a 12)?

Hi Adam,
I have test fit a 12mm Tour Tongue in that boot, it is doable although it will tighten things up substantially and fill a lot more space. The 9mm Tour Tongue is a bit thicker than the stock liner, it does tighten up the ankle and cuff a little. It isn't as drastic, of course.
You could consider the 9mm Tour Wrap - I think the 12 would be too big. But if you have a snug fit in the forefoot, but a loose fit in the calf area, that is exactly what the wrap liners are good for - they have more padding in the shin compared to a tongue liner and will fill up calf and ankle space. The 9mm Wrap will also give you more breathing room in the forefoot, compared to the 12mm Tongue.
