Palau Power LT Liners
Palau took their All Track collection to the next level by offering a new “power” liner in a slimmer package. Working off the mighty Powertrack 10, they shaved the liner down to 8mm to allow its use in tighter-fitting and more articulate boots. Using a medium density heat-moldable EVA foam, Palau made the Power LT a precise fitting liner to boost the performance of any boot. Whether it’s a beefy freeride boot or a svelte touring boot, this is the upgrade for your current liner. The Palau Power LT is designed with a thinner upper cuff to fit more calf sizes and cuff shapes and it will keep your feet warm and comfortable while not foregoing performance.
- 8mm custom 100% moldable mid-density foam.
- Tongue Liner with optional laces for easy entry and close fit.
- Precision cut for lower volume beef boots, e.g. Hawx, Lab, Maestrale, Vulcan, Spectre.
- Performance upgrade for the Spitfire, TLT6, TLT7, F1, or similar.
- Relief zone in spine for better range-of-motion.
- Overall medium volume but molds precisely.

The power liner is my go to aftermarket liner for one thing. Adding warmth to light boots. The first time I decided to buy from Palau was at the recommendation for the skimo.co team for adding warmth to my boots for a trip to Denali. They worked amazingly well (I typically get cold feet due to old cold injuries) and my feet were warm enough on the trip that I only broke out overboots for one windy day. I now use this liner in the Technica zero g peak all year round and only switch to a thinner liner for spring touring.

Replacement for my 2022 technica zero g pro liners. Great solution. Tried to fit the intuition LV liners, were too bulky for my shell. The Palau liners definite improvement over original 2022 stock liners. Technica sent me me the improved liner the following year, but still prefer the Palau. Bear in mind, I do not have a narrow foot and have had to punch the shell out in my fifth metatarsal area.

I’m trying to take up some room in the forefoot of my TLT8s(CR). I’m thinking either this Palau liner(8mm), or the Tour Tongue LV(9mm). Or maybe just a footbed insert…. What do you think?
11/3/2024
Gordon, You should always start (and use ) a good footbed, it will help.
If the rest of the boot fits well, adding some foam along the liner too should help.

I have the technica zero g tour pro boots (26.5) and have very low volume feet with a super high arch (female). The boots are currently working ok with my stock liners from a roxa boot that I love. I need to replace the liners (they’re worn out) and wondering if these would be a good fit or if there are others you recommend and if you recommend these, what size since they don’t seem to do 1/2 sizes? Thanks so much!

Hi Sara,
This could be a good replacement liner for the Zero G Pro Tour! It would be fairly comparable to the Zero G's stock liner in terms of thickness and support. If you were happy with the fit of the boot in stock form, then these would be a great choice. Size-wise, go for a size 26 liner.
If you are looking to tighten up the fit and add foam to the boot, the Intuition Pro Tour MV (12mm) would be a good option.

happy with these liners I got to replace the stocks in my backlands, but they're getting very stinky this year. can they be machine washed like the original backlands liners?
2/13/2024
Hi Dain,
I would not machine wash them, but as a rule of thumb, making sure to remove your liners from your boots every time you finish skiing, and potentially drying them on a boot dryer, makes a big difference. To hopefully help combat the smell, one option could be these SIDAS dryer bags.

i'm looking to take up more volume in my scarps gea rs boots, size 24. would these liners or the intuition pro tour mv be a better match? thanks!
12/21/2023
Hi Kathryn! These are fairly comparable to the Gea RS stock liner. You may find them to take up some volume however. Although correcting a fit with liners often plays out unsuccessfully, the Intuition Pro Tour in a low or medium volume would likely be a better bet. Send us an email at help@skimo.co to dive into the details. Thanks!

I have a pair of TLT 8 Carbonio boots that need a new liner. I'd be willing to give up some walking efficiency for some downhill performance along with more comfort at the shin. Would these be the correct liner to go with you think?
My boots are a 26.5, but it looks like you don't have a 26.5 in stock. Would the 26 do the trick? My actual foot length measurements are 262mm and 263mm...
Thanks for all the advice and knowledge y'all give, very helpful reading all the reviews/questions.

Hi Henry, the size 26 will work just fine in a 26/26.5 shell. The Palau 26.5 liner is a few millimeters longer, but after a heat mold the 26 and 26.5 will be extremely similar.

I have a pair of 29 Phantom Slippers for splitboarding. My understanding is that they are based on the 2018/19 Atomic Backland Carbons. The current liners are marked 29/29.5.
I am looking for a liner to slightly stiffen up the boot and provide more padding around my shins. Would this be the right liner or is it going to be too tight? The alternative would be the Palau Tour Lite Pros. If I went that route, should I get the 29 or the 29.5. Thanks for any help.

Hi Seth,
These would definitely add substance and padding to your boots. However, I do think they might be a little overkill for a Backland Carbon shell if you do not particularly need to take up volume in the boot. I would say the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo in the MV might be a better option for you. They would add support and padding in the shin while being a little thinner than the Power LT in the lower shell, and not having quite as huge of a tongue. You would want the 29.5 in that liner.

I am in the Dynafit radical pro boot 26.5 and have been experimenting with liners for the last two seasons. I find myself with ankle pain after long tours over flat terrain(glaciers/icefields) and have found the best liner for the shell is the stock scarpa liner for F1 is size 26. The stock liner for the radical pro in my opinion is pretty garbage but have put time into the Intuition Pro Tour 26 and experimented with foot bed height. I believe the bolt eats through the liners and then rubs on my bony ankle over time. The Intuition Pro tour was a great fit with no pain until it wore through a bit and then became unbearable. I am hesitant to try the pro tour again as it only took 30ish days before the pain. The stock F1 liners have lasted 60 plus with minimal pain but are starting to pack out in general. I am curious if the Palau Power LT Liners will be a better option for me. Perhaps a middle ground between the two I have previously tried, with more performance than stock F1 as I have a slight heel lift and less pain than Intuition Pro tour. Should I aim for a higher volume to increase padding between my ankle or different liner options? curious if you guys have any ideas
10/10/2023
Hi Kelson,
You're correct that the Power LT would be a good middle ground between the Pro Tour and the F1 liner in terms of thickness, walkability and support. However, it's hard to say anything about whether it would stand up to the sort of wear that you're describing on the ankle. Ideally, we would correct whatever is eating into the liner first. If you'd like to discuss this issue more in depth, please email help@skimo.co, maybe with some pictures of the wear on the liner that you're describing and we can try to come up with solutions.

Kelson, Sounds like you are the Expert here. Even played with foot bed height, that sometimes takes care of ankle issues.
The cuff bolt is covered with a patch, has it worn out? I know that it will still wear the liner over time, but maybe double patching will help. When I checked that, the outer fabric of the stock liner seemed pretty stout for a liner. I wouldn't think that the fabric on the Palau liner would be any stronger in that spot, then an Intuition liner.
Will the fit difference, as you suggest, make a difference, only testing will tell. The thickness does fall in-between the F1 and Pro Tour.

Thanks for all the information. I got the liners in the mail and they do seem better for the ankle but unfortunately, they don't seem to be great in the Dynafit shell. They seem to be a much more rigid foam and it creates a lot of heel lift, at least for my little body ankles. I think I'll be trying the intuition tour tongue liners next. Still debating the 9 vs 12mm options

Jonny come lately on this post... I have the Radical Pro and Hoji free and tour boots.
I create a foam donut that's thicker on one side than the other, and leaves a little padding in the center that fits perfectly in the indented circle where those nasty protruding cuff hinges are so the metal has a buffer. I carefully remove the patch covering the cuff bolt, then place the foam donut on the removed patch. Then place the patch back on with the thicker part of the padding tword the heel side and it works pretty well. I still get wear on the boot liner, but I only feel that hinge on extreme sidehilling. I make them for both sides...Give it a go and it works great!

I purchased some Salomon pure touring boots as i got a great deal, they are a bit softer than i would like. Would these liners fit, and help to stiffen the boot for the downhill?
8/19/2023
Hi Corey, these liners fit well in the Salomon MTN Summit Pure / Pro models and are thicker and more supportive than the stock liners. They aren't going to stiffen up the boot by a large amount, but they will provide a bit more confidence on the downhill.
Answer this question:
I bought these to replace my blown out/torn Zero G Tour Pro liners. These are significantly stiffer and thicker than the stock liner. I am anticipating some packing out and break in after a handful of tours, but out of the bag they are a much tighter fit, I am buckling the boots 1-2 positions looser on both the top of the foot buckles and calf buckles.
These liners are noticeably easier to get into than the stock liner, I always had trouble getting in and out of the boot, but these seem to have a much smoother interior material.

Hey Eamonn - I’m in the same position. I love the boot for my flat / low volume foot and
thought the stock liners were OK paired with a heat molded footbed from skimo. I just got these liners to replace the stock ones, and may they take up a lot more space. Vice grip feel out of the box, and I got a big blister on the outside of my heel during the second tour with the palaus. Did about 5 miles and 3K each day to break them in.
Any update on how they broke in?

They broke in nicely for me. My daily drivers are the Zero G Peaks, so the Palaus don't see as much use, but after they broke in they fit great. Would definitely buy them again.

I noticed the Palau liners are available in 1/2 sizes vs whole sizes as with intuition. Are the half sizes actually a different length or just thinner material. I wear a 28.5. Would a 28 liner be slightly more snug or is there that much difference?
2/6/2023
Hi Kyle, they are different lengths since some boots split shells on the half size (e.g. scarpa). You likely want the 28.5.

I have Technica zero G peaks in 28.5 that I sized larger for higher altitude objectives. The Skimo.co team recommended I go with this liner instead. Looking to upgrade from the stock liner for a warmer liner. Is the 28 a thicker liner than the 28.5 like many brands or is each liner the same thickness from Palau? Which size should I go for?
1/22/2023
Hi Mauri, I do not know of anyone making thicker liners for half sizes. That's usually an insole change or just pre-molding differences. The Palau half sizes are sewn to a different length to account for the varying shell lengths out there.

Hi Ryan,
The Palau Power LT will likely be a pretty close fit to the stock liner In the Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Scout. If you are looking to take up some extra volume, I would consider the Intuition Pro Tour in a MV.

Hello,
I have a pair of used 2017 Salomon MTN labs in 28.5 that I am trying to decide what liner to replace with. My true foot size is closer to a 28 with medium volume, wide forefeet and a narrow ankle, which seems to lead to consistent heel rub. I am leaning towards the Palau Power LT Liners in 28. Would that work well with these boots, and is there something else you would recommend?

Hey Kevin,
If your forefoot is on the wider side this liner might feel a bit snug before it breaks in, but it should help lock your heel in nicely. A low volume Intuition Pro Tour liner would also hold the heel in snuggly, though it needs to be heat molded and might initially feel significantly snugger throughout the foot.

Hi,
I've a pair of Dynafit Radical Pro 2021 model in 25.5 size.
The boots fit perfectly to my feet and I've never had any pain both on skinning up and skiing down.
The only issue I have is with the liner that cause me frozen toes due to its shape. I've tried with a palau tour lite pro of another paire of boots and it was much better for my toes but too much space on the ankles and cuff.
Do you think that I can solve this issue by replacing the stock liner of my dynafit radical pro with a pair of palau alltracks power LT?

Hi Steve,
I would personally opt for the Palau Power LT over the Intuition. Both will take up significantly more room than the stock liner and both will make the boot feel stiffer, but the Palau will walk better of the two. If you're not worried about killing your walk mode and you need a serious amount of space taken up, the Intuition will take up a little more space and might add a little more stiffness than the Palau.
