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 found these a very nice upgrade from my scarpa maestrale liners, but very different fit. I got the 9mm version and it was way more roomy which was what I needed for my mid foot and toes but for my small heel I added the patriot footbed ankle sleeve to lock in my heels better. This was a great combo to relieve the pressure points I was having in the 6th toe and mid foot but have a snug heel fit.

I have a pair on tlt-x xtra wide in 30.5. I was intentionally going big and wide for touring comfort. However, if there had been a 29.5 it probably would have been a better fit after liner pack out etc (but that size was not available). I do have high arches and footbeds in. I have a wide forefoot hence the extra wide. Was thinking about a ticket liner end thinner socks and then molding them. Currently I’m using some very thick socks. What liner size and thickness would you recommend? Street shoe is about 12. I was thinking size 30, 12mm? Would this work in the extra wide shells? Or would it squeeze my forefoot?

Hi Jmar,
I will preface by saying that generally, your shell is too big, and you may have issues even with a thicker liner. With that said, it will probably improve the fit compared to the stock liner, at least temporarily, as it will take up more space. 12mm is more than we would usually recommend in such a light boot, but in this case, it may be appropriate! Be aware that it will be quite a bit thicker than the stock liner everywhere, including in the cuff - if you have bigger calves, it may be too big in that area.
You will want to heat mold the liners for the best fit, especially if going with the 12mm. Thin socks are always best for touring!

I have a pair of TLT X in size 28.5. The fit is great, but I would like to take up a little more space for a touch more downhill performance. I already put in a Surefoot blue insert, but am looking at also adding a size 28 liner to take up a little more space. Would these work?

Hi Evan,
This liner could potentially work in a 9mm if you have a fairly loose fit in the boot, but it is a considerable step up in thickness and stiffness. The 12mm and 15mm options would be much too thick. The Palau Alltrack Power might be a better option, as it is also thicker than stock, but walks a little better and isn't quite as burly as the Intuition.

Hi there, my wife has some much loved TLT5s (size 25.5) but the liners have been worn and packed out over the years. I realize it’s going back into the archives, but would you recommend a size 25 or 26? I was planning on picking the middle of the road 12mm thickness. Thanks!
2/25/2025
Hi Conger,
You will want a size 25 liner, most likely in the 9mm thickness! The 12mm is a good thickness for heavier freeride boots which have beefier liners, but is too much for the vast majority of lightweight touring boots. The 9mm liner will still be notably thicker than stock, but more reasonable to use in that boot!

Hi, i want to take up more space with my radical pro ( i have a low vol feet, 97mm ish, medium arch, and slim shin). Chocing the boot simply for the hoji lock and its stiffness, so the boot fitter put quite some padding to the stock liner and in front of the ankle to fillup space for me. It works great, but is a pain to take out and put back the liner with tons of modification on.
Does this 15mm liner would do the similar job for me? Or what would you recommandation? New boot with better factory fit (eyeing on the ZGTP)? i have the radical at 26.5. If this liner work for me, which size should i pick.
Thanks

Hi YH T,
In this case, it sounds like your boot just doesn't fit very well! The Radical Pro is quite wide and higher volume, and you have a narrow, low volume foot. Generally, we don't recommend trying to fix shell fit issues with aftermarket liners. It may help in the short term, but all foam liners will pack out with some use, and then you develop slop again. In our opinion, it would be much better to start with a shell that fits your foot. Based on what you've said about your foot shape, the Zero G Pro Tour would be a much better choice.
If you did decide to put an Intuition liner into the Radical Pro and you wanted to take up as much space as physically possible, the 15mm would be the right one, and you'd buy it in your same shell size (26).

I have the 24/25 season maestrale RS boots in a size 26.0. Will the size 25 12mm intuition liner work with this boot? I am hoping the 12mm liner will take up a little space and make the boot warmer. This version maestrale is much colder compared to previous versions.
2/21/2025
Hi Jason,
Generally you can size down Intuitions for Scarpa boots, because of the sizing - however, with the 24/25 Maestrale in particular, I would go with a 26 liner - that boot runs a full size bigger length-wise than Scarpas traditionally do, so I think the 25 liner would be a bit short.
I would also bear in mind that the stock Scarpa liner that comes with that version of the Maestrale is made by Intuition and is pretty close to the 12mm Tour Tongue. If your current liners are packed out, it would be an improvement, but I don't think it would add a ton of warmth - you'd be better off with heated socks or a boot glove for that purpose.

2/13/2025
Hi, I'm not familiar with the S2X, can you add a photo of the boot?

It is an old boot, purchased 2008. There was a similar question from Sandy 01/10/2025 but the recommendation in that case doesn’t have mondo 275. Also, I don’t know the thickness of the old liners. Would a thick liner be tighter on the foot, or tighter in the boot (shell)?
2/17/2025
Hi Ian,
We do not have the stock liner for that boot. I would recommend an Intuition as a replacement, but which one will depend on your fit in the boot. If you have a roomier shell fit, try the 12mm Tour Tongue in size 28 (a Scarpa 27.5 is closer to 28). If you have a tighter shell fit, and don't want to take up too much space, then go with the 9mm.
The answer to your second question is, it will make the boot feel tighter. A thicker liner takes up more space between your foot and the shell, so it reduces the available space that your foot has to move around, and increases compression.

Hi Francesco,
The Tour Tongue 12mm is fairly close to the stock liner in the Maestrale RS, which is also an Intuition product. It would not dramatically change the fit in the boot. If you have not molded your current liners, and you don't have a ton of days on them yet, I would try that first. Generally speaking, fixing shell fit problems with liners is somewhat of a band-aid solution and doesn't always work very well.
For a truly custom fit around the heel and ankle, a Zipfit GFT or injectable Backland Professional liner would offer more customization. Before you invest in these, however, we would highly recommend making sure you are in the correct shell size and shape for your foot.

Hi Jake,
A 9mm would be a bit thin, 12mm a bit thick. Unfortunately there isn't really anything in between the 9 and 12 thickness. I'd say go with the 12mm and mold it aggressively.

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 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.
