Palau Tour Lite Pro Liners
Palau liners are made with 100% highly rated EVA foam. The thermo-moldable foam is closed-cell which maximizes thermal retention. Palau make their liners with a dense cut of the foam that retains its shape after a heat mold or some skiing. That is why they were chosen as the liner supplier for Dynafit, La Sportiva, and other well-known boot brands. Now you can get replacement liners for lightweight backcountry boots with the aftermarket offering from Palau. The Tour Lite Pro liners are relatively thin, lightweight, and have an Achilles flex zone. Perfect replacements for TLT, Spitfire, and other high performance ski mountaineering boots.
- 100% closed-cell EVA foam is very receptive to molding.
- Tongue design doesn’t interfere with walking like an overlap.
- Lacing system give you additional ski-support if desired.
- Flex zone behind the ankle allows for unimpeded skinning.
- 7mm thickness is light, flexible, yet reasonably warm.
- Compatible with TLT5, 6, PDG, Spitfire, and other models.

The PDG2 stock 5mm liner was way to thin for the conditions here in AK. The original liner also bone bruised my ankles and other parts. After speaking with Skimo staff, I ordered the 7mm Palua tour lite liner. These worked perfect from the start. Warmer and definitely more comfort for feet and lower legs. My only wish is that they would sew on a back loop for putting on the boot. Virtually no weight but major benefit getting them on a tight fitting boot. Skimo....please request!

Hi,
I just got the new Tecnica Zero G Peak Carbons in 28.5. Lengthwise the boot is great, but unfortunately I feel the liner is way too thin (especially around the midfoot area, half of my foot is moving around).
I tried stuffing the 28 Intuition Luxury MV liner but I couldn't get my foot in. I also tried a 29 Tour Wrap MV but wouldn't stuff my foot in either.
Would this liner (in size 28.5?) be thicker than the stock Peak Carbon liner?
Thanks,

Hi Tony,
The Light boots have thin liners. Lighter and less restrictive for cuff rotation.
This liner would not help.
Some people have used the Intuition Pro Tour MV and worked. But can't say for sure, but it is not as thick as the Luxury liner. The Palau Power LT is thicker and would be your other choice.

Hi Skimo, I have Atomic Backland Ultimate 2019 (white kind) 278mm with a sock liner (Use: hardbootsplitboarding). My sock liner is shredding in pieces in under one year. dissapointed... Nevertheless. I am looking for a remplacement. Will these Palau Tour Lite Pro Liners fit in my boot? and at what size? if not then what size Palau Ultralight Race Liners 7mm should I get? hoping they will last longer than the atomic sockliner.

Hi Matt,
Palau offers fantastic liners and should last far longer than that! The Palau Tour Lite Pro Liners would fit, however, they would take up volume throughout and create a stiffer felt flex. The suggested liner for that boot is the Palau Ultralight Race Liners 7mm. For your boot, I'd recommend the 26.5 which unfortunately we are out of stock at the moment. Send us an email at help@skimo.co and we can sign you up for a restock notification list! Thanks!

I have the TLT7 expedition, and a bit of a weird problem. I have a bony protrusion on top of my foot at the back of the first metatarsal. The seam on the stock liner between the tongue and the rest of the liner seems to overlap and cause additional pressure in this area, not to mention the stock liner didn't really heat mold all that well to remove space from that area. What are your thoughts on this liner solving that problem? Looks like it doesn't have a seam that runs down the full length of the tongue.
Also looking at the 7mm ultralight race liner. I read that the race liner is a bit less dense and therefore might heat mold out a little more, giving me even more space in this spot (and my bunions, which I didn't mention above. Also, it appears to have even less seams that could cause trouble...Thanks!

Hi Carl, Involved question that we can better assist via email. help@skimo.co
Quick answer, the 7mm race liner is very minimalist and would give you less of a good fit then the quite good CR stock liner.

Hi! Looking to replace Dynafit TFX liners in a TLT 5 boot for my fiance, I know he likes the lace-up aspect and would like them to take up either the same volume in the boot or slightly more (he loves the boots but the liners are tearing from wear). Would these Tour Lite liners be a similar replacement, or might the Palau Power LTs be slightly higher volume? Or if I wanted to go higher volume than the TFXs, do you think I should look at Intuition? Thanks so much, you guys are such a great resource!
12/19/2022
Hi Sarah,
the Tour Lite liners are going to be the right replacement. The Power LTs are slightly higher volume in the cuff and might make it difficult to buckle the boot.

Lite pro or lite pro evo for Skorpius 1.0 liner replacement?

Hi Patrick, the Pro would be most similar to the stock liner. The Evo would add a bit more beef in the cuff which some folks might appreciate.
Answer this question:

Which would be closest to stock liners for la sportiva Skorpius, these or the evos? I could use a little more material around ankles but I wouldn’t want to loose and space around the toes. Thanks
11/21/2022
Hey J. Brandon M
These are probably the closest to the stock liner. The evo is slightly thicker but not a huge amount--they both take up similar space around the ankles and toes, the main difference is that the evo is slightly more robust around the calf and does have a velcro tongue wrap.

Ok. Laces versus Velcro. Which do you think provides the best fit?
11/21/2022
I don't think the fit is going to be drastically different one way or another. I personally like lace-up liners because they snug up a larger area, but a lot of people find them cumbersome to deal with.

Hi Mark,
The Palau Tour Lite Pro will indeed be a great replacement option if you would like a liner that gets you close to the fit of the stock Spitfire 2.1 liner. As for sizing, I would go with the 25.5!

Hey Mariusz, overall I think the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo will take up some more volume over the instep compared to the stock liner but perhaps not an extremely noticeable amount. A very easy and efficient means to take up some overall volume would be with some boot shims.

Hey, I'm looking for my stock liner replacement in Atomic Backland carbon 2020. I need more tight fit in foot as with stock liners I have too much volume in forefoot and arch. Which liner would be better? Tour Lite Pro, Tour Lite Pro Evo or maybe Power LT? I could compromise bit of walkability to get better downhill performance too. Thanks for the answer
4/18/2022
Hey Mariusz, I would recommend putting in the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo liner, which will be most comparable to the Backland Carbons stocks liner. Do you already have some sort of custom or semi-custom Superfeet insole as well? This could make a huge difference in taking up some volume, especially under the arch.

Hi,
Can you tell me if these are softer than the Intuition Pro Tour? I recently replaced my packed out Tecnica liners with the Pro Tour and really hate them on the ups, I find them far too rigid to get the same range of motion and all that friction causes blisters. Downhill they work fine, although the rigidity at the cuff digs into my calves more than I'm used to. Now trying to pad out my stock liners instead, or give in and buy new boots. But if I could find some softer after market liners I might be set!

Thanks for your question, Tom. The weight is ~310.2 grams and this would work in a Transalp Pro. If you want a slightly beefier liner, the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo (weighing in ~327.7g) would also be a good choice.

Hi Michael,
The Palau Tour Lite Pro liners will be quite a bit lower volume than your current Intuition Pro Tour Liners, which will make for a higher volume fit in your boots. The closest to the Pro Tour LV that we have from Palau is the Palau Power LT. Also, for availability on Intuition liners, reach out to help@skimo.co, and we can set you up for a notification that will alert you when your size in a Pro Tour LV comes in stock!

I'm looking to replace the stock liners in my TLT6 Mountain CR boots, size 30. I like the stock liners but they are wearing out. I'd like a replacement liner that most closely matches the stock liner. I see from your writeups that you recommend the Palau Tour Lite Pro, Pro Evo, or Power LTs for the TLT6. What is the difference between the three? Which one is the best match to the TLT6 stock liner? Do you recommend a size 30 regardless of which of the Palau liners I choose? Other info about me if it makes a difference: I use Carbon or Blue Superfeet inserts and have skinny calves :). Thanks!
12/8/2021
Hi John,
The closest aftermarket liner to the Stock Liner in the TLT6 Mountain CR boots is the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo. Here is a breakdown of the differences in the liners that you mentioned.
The Palau Tour Lite Pro has the lowest volume foam at 7mm. This will provide a slightly higher volume fit compared with the TLT6 Mountain stock liner. At 8mm of foam, the Evo is thicker, and more closely mirrors the TLT6 Mountain stock liner. One thing to keep in mind, aftermarket liners are designed to fit a wider range of shells, so they will not be quite as specific in fit as compared with a stock liner.
The final liner that you mentioned is the Palau Power LT. This liner has similar volume in the lower as compared with the Evo, maybe a little thicker in the toe. However, the upper liner has higher volume foam than the Evo, and is intended to increase the flex of your boots. This translates to some reduction in the cuff rotation.
As far as fit goes, it would be best to stick with your current boot size. If you have further questions, please reach out to help@skimo.co!

I am looking at putting these liners in Dynafit TLT8 Expedition boots to try to get the fit more similar to the TLT8 Carbonio which felt great at size 27.5. Is this liner essentially the same as the dyafit CL liner? If so is it safe to say that the the expeditions would fit the same as the carbonios with this liner swapped out with the stock CR liner?
11/23/2021
Hi Josh,
Depending on your shell size, the closest liner to the Stock TLT8 Carbonio would be the TLT7 Custom Light Liners under our Dynafit Liners listing. Although not exactly the same fit, it will be pretty close.
As far as the Palau Tour Lite Pro Liner is concerned, I would say it will most closely mirror the stock liner in the Dynafit TLT 8 Carbonio of any aftermarket liner that we carry. However, I would not consider it essentially the same. The stock liner in a boot will have design features specifically oriented to complement the shell it was designed to go inside. This liner will have a slightly more generic fit intended for a wider range of boot shells. The Palau Tour Lite Pro will get you darn close, but not exact. If you have further liner questions, reach out to us at help@skimo.co.

I’ve got a pair of 26.5 Salomon S/Lab X-Alps that fit well except for a touch of rub around the lateral aspect of my little toes. I swapped out the standard liner with a thinner one from my Backland Carbons and the fit felt much better. Would the Tour Lite Pros give the most similar fit to these thinner liners and would the 26.5 be the size you’d recommend. Thanks.

Hey Greg,
You're spot on. The Palau Tour Lite Pro is going to be the closest in similarity to the stock Atomic Backland Carbon liner! I'd go for the 26.5 for sizing as well.

Hey,
i currently use the Backland Ultimate in 28 Mondo/298mm with a 27.5 Palau Power LT Liner for Splitboarding. It works fine for me, the Boot is just a little to long for most Splitboards in my Size, so i have Toe/heeldrag. I think i could maybe downsize to a 27 Mondo Ultimate, what Liner would u suggest to me ? I Think if i downsize the Ultimate i maybe need a liner with lower volume to fit my feet, but im scared that they are to cold and not comfy enough for 6+ hour tours..
Cheers Philipp !

Thanks for your question, Philipp. If you're downsizing to a 27.0, either a 5mm or 7mm race liner from Palau might be your best option. These will have less inherent warmth than the thicker offerings from Palau, however, they might be the only option depending on how tight the downsized boot will be. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
