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.

Hello! I am still trying to find a good replacement liner for my atomic backland ultimates . Everything I try seems to be a bit to thick for the boot and my foot or the Palau ultralight race liners 7mm just felt weird and didn’t fit the boot right in my opinion. I’ve also tried dynafit melenzana liner , and scarpa f1 lt liners. Both of these are a bit to thick in the tongue and heel. Do you think this liner would be a potential option? Any other recommendations ?

Bryn, You have tried a lot. Can be a difficult task.
This liner, as it mentions, is 7mm thick, more in the cuff. It is thicker then the Mezzalama liner. Those race liners are a close match, but use ultralight foam that gives very little support. Except for a Race Bikini liner, which also can feel weird, not much else.

Hello, I have a pair of Scarpa F1 Women's in a size 25.5 with packed out liners. I'm looking for a new liner that walks as well as the stock one, but can offer me a bit more volume. Is this the liner for me?
1/19/2024
Hi Lindsey,
I responded to your email! But in general, we find that the best liner for the Scarpa F1 is the stock Scarpa/Intuition Pro Flex Evo liner that comes with the boot. This one is a bit thinner!

Hello, my feet are exactly 274 mm long, and I wear Tecnica Zero G Peak boots in size 27,5. When shell-fitting the boot, however, the fit behind my heel is greater than two fingers. As a result, I am thinking about getting the Tecnica Zero G Peak in size 26,5 and using some more subtle liners to achieve the snug fit I desire while also reducing the weight (the original Tecnica liners weigh 500 g pair). What Palau models would you recommend for the liners? I am considering between Tour Lite Pro (Tour Lite Evo) in 7 mm and Tour Lite Ultra in 7 mm. And what sizes of these liners would work the best?
1/15/2024
Hi Martin! Unfortunately swapping liners to improve fit often produces less than ideal results. Continuing it's difficult to guide you to the correct liner size with your foot length in question. Regardless, the Tour Lite Pro is an appropriate liner for your boot offering both support and a lightweight construction. The Ultralight Race liners are somewhat minimal for this boot for general touring. To dive into the details further, send us an email at help@skimo.co and we can try to sort out what are your best options moving forward. Thanks!

Hi Karine,
This would be a good liner for the Backland Carbon. Unfortunately, it's very hard to say whether it will fix your specific issue. In general, liners are not the way to fix a poorly fitting boot. If you are using the Hawx Ultra Mimic Platinum liner from Atomic, that is a much beefier liner, this one will be quite a bit thinner and softer. I would say they are a better match for the Backland Carbon boot, which is light and mobile.

The liners ion my new K2 BFC 100 boots (size 26.5) are a little too cramped in the toes. The liners in my Lange LX90s have more room in the toes, so I could pull them out and use them. But what would you recommend for my K2 boots (I have a high instep, by the way). Thanks!
10/3/2023
Hi Ralph,
The BFC 100 is an alpine boot, not a touring boot, so the liners we sell are not going to be ideal for you. The first thing I would recommend for your boots is a heat mold at a good alpine shop, as they may be able to add some room to the toe box for you. Otherwise, I would look at Intuition liners! They have many alpine models that are well-regarded.

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.
3/6/2023
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?

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.

11/21/2022
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!
