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 have the Technica Zero G Tour Pro boot (2021) in size 25.5. The liners now hurt my ankle bones and are packed out in the mid-foot, but I have large calves, so they're always tight in the cuff. Any recommendations on this Intuition liner in size 25 vs 26? And 9mm vs 12mm?
Hi Iris, I would go with the 12mm in a 25 for that boot.

Hi - what would be the equivalent thickness (9mm, 12mm or 15mm) to replace the liner in the Dynafit Ridge (not pro)? Thanks!

Hey Jeff,
I think the closest replacement for a stock liner in the ridge from Intuition would be the 9mm tour tongue. If you were looking to mitigate any extra room in the boot, you could try a 12mm, but I think it would probably be a bit too much liner for that boot.

Hey Ernesta,
I weighed the 24.5 liners. The Pro Flex Evo weighed in at 229g (458g per pair), and the Intuition Tour Tongue 9mm weighed in at 203g (406g per pair).

I have a pair of Scarpa F1's in size 25.5. The stock liner wore out badly around the inner ankle. I am looking to replace them. Is the scarpa pro flex evo stock liner the best bet or could I try a different liner such as this one?
Hi Ernesta, the Scarpa Pro Flex Evo is the stock liner that comes with that boot, however a size 25 Intuition would also work. I would recommend the 9mm Intuition for the F1 boot.

I am currently wearing Dalbello Lupo 100 W in 23.5. I am in 23's due to repeated toe injuries (my feet are 3mm too long for a 22), so I have a 1.25" (~48mm) heel-to-toe void in the shell without a liner, and I have had to wear my toe and ankle buckles on the tightest settings from day 1. While I haven't had any injuries in 40+ days in these boots, I am sliding around in every direction now that my liners are packed out. My stock liners are currently measuring 15mm thick at the top rear of the cuff. Considering all of this, I'm leaning towards 15mm liners. My only hesitation is regarding the cuff in the 15mm, since I do not have a volume issue in the upper calf area (I'm using the 2nd or 3rd buckle position with what already seem to be thick liners, as well as tucking thermals into my boots since I have plenty of space). I would guess heat molding the uppermost calf area would be sufficient if they do end up being snug there? Thank you in advance for your guidance!
Justine- Sounds like you nailed it! I think the 15mm in a 23 is the right size. Molding the liner with extra attention to the cuff to get you the room sounds like the ticket to me.

My husband has asked for the Intuition Tour Tongue Liners and has requested size 28.5, 12mm. I only see it available in whole sizes but see others reference half sizes. I know nothing about the subject or how to measure his boots so would appreciate guidance for choosing either 28 or 29. Would the half size make much of a difference? HELP!
Hi Susan, Intuition liners are only available in whole sizes. For a 28.5 foot, you would want to order a 28 size liner, and it will heat mold to fit 28.5 no problem. Due to the foams used, one should always heat mold new Intuition liners.

I am looking to replace the liners in my Dynafit Radical Pros. I am assuming the 12mm thickness will work best? More curious if I should go tongue or wrap, or is a personal preference deal? Thanks!
Jamie-The stock liner in the Radical Pro is 10mm. I would agree the 12mm liner would be a better fit especially after a good heat mold. Tongue vs wrap is really a personal preference.

I have an older pair of Scarpa Freedom SL boots with original intuition liners. Is this liner that would replace them? I need also need sizing advice. Should go with 27 or 28? Medium fit ?
Matthew-These liner would make an excellent replacement liner. The old stock liners were reasonably chunky so the 12mm is probably the right one. Size depends on the liner length. Measure your liner in centimeters and then get the closest to that whether its 27 or 28.

I have a pair of Dynafit Tigard 130 which I love. The liner packed out after 1.5 seasons and there is too much play. They are size 27.5. I can order another Dynafit 15 liner but given how quickly they packed out I am thinking about intuition. Dyanfit actaually suggested that I give it a try. Do you guys have any advice about which one to order.
Ben, The Intutions are a bit thicker overall. So likely the 12mm will be best. Unless you have lots of extra space in the Tigard, the 15mm will be too much.

I have a pair of 24/25 Tecnica zero g tour pro's that are 29.5. Im usually a size 28.5 for alpine boots. The boots originally fit well, but after 20 or so rides they developed some play from the liner packing out. The shell fit is two fingers. Do you think it's best to go with the 15mm liner to take up a little space or to go with a 12mm?

Hey Ryan,
The consensus around here is the 12mm (medium volume) Tour Tongue liner would likely be the best solution.
What size would you recommend for a 25.5 scarpa quattro xt? My forefoot is a little tight, but i definitely have some room in the cuff. Getting close to needing a new liner, and I’m considering these in a 9mm 25
Hi Wren, I would go with the 9mm 25 - that would be fairly similar or slightly thinner in the lower and similar or very slightly thicker in the cuff. You could also go with a 9mm Tour Wrap if you wanted to take up a good bit more volume in the cuff.
Hi Sam, we'll be getting more sometime this fall - tentatively mid November. If you click Out of Stock Options in the dropdown above, you can add your email to a notification list if you'd like.

Hi Nate, I would guess the medium volume would be the way to go, but if you felt like the boots had a good bit too much volume all-around, you could go with the 15mm.

I'm hoping to double dip and get a single replacement liner for a size 28 F1 XT (302 bsl) and a size 27.5 Radical Pro (307 bsl). Do you think I could shove a 9mm size 28 liner in both, or would a 27 be better? (or is that just a bad idea?) Thanks
Hi Ben, it'll be pretty tricky to get a good fit in both boots with one liner. The 27 would be the correct size for both pairs, but they'd be too thin for the Radical Pro, and possibly a bit thick for the F1 XT.

Hi! So I already have a better pair of touring boots, but have a pair of old Salomon X-ALP carbons in size 28 that I want to use for longer but less steep tours. They are the same length as my 27 touring boots and the liner is dead (bought them used already) so I have a bit of room especially in the ankle. What size and thickness of liner should I replace them with? Thanks!
I have a Fischer transalp pro in 27.5 — the toe box of the stock liner is super tight/low volume for my toes and I cannot for the life of me stretch it to get more comfort. Would a size 28 9mm be able to fit in this boot, or would a size 27 be more appropriate (and if so would I be able to get more room in the toes)?
Generally speaking, we recommend using the same size liner as your shells. If the liners are too tight and you have more room in the shell, then going up a size might work. Just keep in mind that the 28 will be overall more material than the 27, so it could end up fitting lower volume than the 27.
I have a zero g tour pro 30.5 that I want to fill a bit more volume in. I’m usually a 29.5 for a super tight shell fit but had to size up for walkability, toes press hard to the front on a forward stride on all the models I tried. No 29.5 touring boot fit my narrow long feet and stock liners don’t take up enough room, the top buckle feels correct on the unmolded liner after moving the ladder and clipping to the last rung. 1.5 finger shell fit but the main issue is higher cuff volume, could probably take up some more heel cup room. Would 15mm make sense here? I figure 12mm might pack out too quickly
Hi Daniel, I think it would be hard to get the 15mm to fit at first. You might need to heat mold them pretty aggressively. The 12mm Tour Wrap would be another option if cuff volume is the priority. Then you can add foam to the heel to take up space - the Patriot Liner Sleeves can help with that as well.

Replacing liners for my TLT6 Performance boot, size 28, BSL 307. Old liners were the Intuition Pro Tour LV size 28. I just ordered the new Intuition tour tongue LV size 28 and they seem bigger/roomier than my old 28s. Id like to get more performance out of my TLTs and wondering if I should go for the size 27 in the tour tongue (LV or MV?) or consider something else like the Palau All Track Power MV?
Hi Vince, I would think the 9mm Tour Tongue would be perfect for that boot. You could go up to the 12mm if you want to take up more room. I wouldn't size down, they'll be even roomier after the liner breaks in. The All Track Power is a good bit thinner than the 9mm Intuition as well.

Do you recommend initial heat molding or skiing them in? I've been told by two boot fitters that it's better just to break them in through skiing. I wouldn't necessarily want to create more space inside the boot by packing them out, but I was still surprised bc I thought fitting intuitions with heat molding was one of their key features. Is that different with the tour models?
We always recommend heat molding new Intuition liners (or any moldable liner, really), before skiing. If you are in a shell that fits correctly, you will not lose any precision in the fit from heat molding. Rather, you will create a more custom fit around the ankle and heel, create a bit more room in the toes (and anywhere else you might need it), and save yourself much of the discomfort of breaking in new liners.
