Hey Skimo team,
Is the Palau Power LT Liner a good replacement option for the Fischer Traverse CS if I need to take up a little bit more space that the stock liner?
If so, should I order the exact size as the shell ( 28.5 ) or size down a half size?
Thanks for your expertise

Palau All Track Power MV 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, more articulate boots. Using a medium-density heat-moldable EVA foam, Palau made the Power MV (formerly known as the Power LT) a precise fitting liner to boost the performance of modern touring boots. Compared to similar Intuitions, the Palau All Track Power MV is designed with a thinner upper cuff to fit more calf sizes and cuff shapes to keep your feet warm and comfortable while keeping performance high.
- 8mm custom 100% moldable mid-density foam.
- Tongue Liner with optional laces for easy entry and close fit.
- Performance upgrade for the Spitfire, TLT6, TLT7, F1, or similar.
- Relief zone in the spine for better range of motion.
- Overall medium volume but molds precisely.
- Formerly called the "Power LT."

Hi Chance,
The Palau Power LT would be a great option - a little bit thicker than the stock liner for sure.
I'd recommend the 28.5, but the 28 would work fine as well.

I have TLT 6 carbon (black) boots. I have used the Palau Tour Light Pro Evos'. I am looking for a liner that takes up a little more room and/or more resistant to packing out. Also, More support for the down hill would be good. Would you recommend the Palau Power LT or an Intuition LV?
Thanks,
Steve

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.

Hi- looking for a replacement liner for a 22.5 women's tecnica zero G scout. I'm a mondo point 23.5 but that boot fit well at 22.5. Is the palau power LT the best for this boot and should I do a 22.5?
Thanks!
Thanks!
11/1/2022
Hi Melissa,
The 22.5 and 23.5 in the Tecnica Zero G Scout have the same boot sole length. Tecnica has relied on a different liner in the 22.5, but it is the same shell.
The Palau Power LT is a great option for a replacement liner in the Zero G Scout. If you are normally a 23.5, a 23.5 in the Palau Power LT would work well in your boots. If you have further liner questions, feel free to reach out to help@skimo.co!

Hello, I bought dynafit tlt8 expedition because they are the widest with the CL slipper, I have problem feet - wide 110mm, flat + hallux, I get bruises during longer hikes because the CL slipper is thin along the entire length and the foot floats. I need a slipper that would be comfortable, voluminous and, above all, well shapeable. Would the Power LT be a good choice? or Tour Lite Pro Evo Please advise. thank you

Hi Tomáš,
Thanks for reaching out! The Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo will be the closest fit to the stock liner in the Dynafit TLT8 Expedition CR . It sounds like you are searching for a higher volume of foam in your liner.
The Power LT will have a similar volume of foam in the lower as compared with the Pro Evo, but it will have a much thicker cuff. I think it would be worth discussing your fit issues in more detail, as they could stem from the shell, not the liner of your boot, or a little of both. Fill out a boot fitter, and we can get into nitty gritty details!

I have a Pair of the 2012 Salomon Quest Pro Pebax Boots in a 28.5: Will this liner work and if yes, what size would I purchase?
10/21/2022
Hi DJC,
For a heavy freeride boot like the Salomon Quest Pro Pebax, I would go with a pretty robust liner. The Palau Power LT might work, but I think the Intuition Pro Tour in a MV (HV if you really need to eat up volume) would be your best bet. You will want the 28.0 size.

Looking to replace and upgrade the liner in a Fischer Travers G/R 29.5. Would like to stiffen it up within reason. Power LT? Tour Lite Pro?, Tour Lite Pro Evo?
10/7/2022
Jeff, The Tour Lite liners would be closest to the liners your G/R boot comes with.
The Power LT would be the one that would stiffen up the flex noticeably. Like most "beef" liners in a light touring boot, they will take up more space in the cuff. Unless you have narrow shin/calves, closing the cuff properly may be an issue.

Marc, For the most part, No. Few Boot companies stock replacement liners and when we try to get one, it can take a very long time and sometimes never come through. The Power LT is quite comparable and immediately available.

I have loved the factory liners in zero g’s I bought in 2017, but they are finally falling apart after 5 busy seasons. Are these a good replacement? I’m particularly concerned about thickness— since my liners were worn til the bitter end happily, I’m assuming they were fairly worn down and that I’m OK with a thinner/worn-down liner…

Hi Kate,
Yes! The Palau Power LT is our best replacement option for the Technica Zero G liner, and if you ever need to experiment with volume in the future, our other alternative for those boots is the Intuition Pro Tour liners.

I have a sized down and length-punched 26.5 backland carbon boot (I probably am a true 27 size, but foot is so low volume I like to size down). No matter how much I pad the stock liner, it doesnt take up the volume where I want over instep. I ran a beat up pair of 27 MVs for a bit, but the cuff diameter was a problem for the closure buckles. I never remolded it though for that boot. My goal is to maximize ski performance. I dont mind sacrificing some walk performance or weight (to the extent that it still walks better than my Hawx). Between this Palau, a new pro tour MV or a pro tour HV (or anything else) what would you recommend?
5/2/2022
Thanks for reaching out, Jason. The Power LT or the Intuition Pro Tour in a MV would be the best option. The Power LT will have an inherently slimmer cuff, however, the diameter (of the cuff) of the MV can be compressed during the molding process. If you want the best skiing option, go with Intuition. If you want to add skiability and keep your boots excellent range of motion, go with the Palau.

I got these to replace the stock liners in a pair La Sportiva Skorpius. They helped me nicely with taking up some space around my heel, ankle, and instep. I’ve got a 26 boot, and the 26 liner was a good fit. Home heat molding went well, I did 5 minutes at 230 degrees.
Things I really like:
The upper cuff is covered in fuzzy material that accepts Scarpa style velcro spoilers/spacers to tune the forward lean and cuff volume. Finally, I don’t have to glue stuff on there. This is especially nice for this boot, as the lean lock angle isn’t adjustable beyond the plastic spacer in the shell.
They are a nice compromise of higher density and volume without killing the ROM when walking. Definitely a bit stiffer, but not much.
One thing I’d change-
The interior of the liner is a very fine fleece, which is a nice feel- but for a touring liner that gets plenty of sweat, I’d prefer to see the very smooth thin fabric you find inside Intuition liners. This is the only reason for the 4 stars. Hopefully they don’t take a long time to dry. Time will tell!

Riff-I have used these liners for a couple of years now and I have not been soaked out by the liner. I pull them out of the shell and use an upright boot dryer to dry the liners and I have had no issues with drying them out. Even on hut trips they dry pretty well. I suppose there are those who sweat a bunch more than I do in their liners. Only lately they have started to get a bit of boot odor that is why I'm looking again to purchase these. These are very durable with only a couple markings from shell wear, but overall very good! They have to have well over 100 days on them. I modified the tongue and Cut out a couple Shin protectors out of a flexible cutting board and glued them on to protect my shins when I power them in my Hoji boots. The sides of the toe material is pretty thin and I suffer from cold toe syndromes now and again because of a tight boot fit, but I use boot gloves for that now.
3/27/2022
Excellent point- i was hoping the material around the toe referred to as “perf” by palau would be closed cell heat moldable foam. It’s a low density open cell, probably comfortable but not as warm. It’s occasionally tough to figure out what the manufacturer means with descriptions.
4/29/2022
Update: still pretty stoked on these, drying them out is no problem. They were plenty warm on an extended trip with temps in the single digits. There’s some spots wearing through the exterior fabric, but nothing unusual.

I have TLT 8 (26.5) boots that I like, but looking to improve the downhill performance a bit and take up some more space in the boot around the ankle. Which liner would you recommend for this boot? Thanks.
3/18/2022
Hi Jason,
If you are looking to add some power to your TLT8 boots, while also taking up some additional volume on the stock liner, the Palau Power LT is a great place to start. Just a heads up, this liner will add friction to the walk mode, and will take up some additional volume in the cuff area as well. If the cuff is already snug in your boots, a beefier liner will make it pretty hard to close! If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to help@skimo.co!

Is there a significant difference in the amount of material in the forefoot/toe box area between the Power LT, Tour Lite Pro Evo, and Tour Lite Pro?
Looking at both of these as replacements liners for my old green TLT6s. Recently I've been using a old pair of extremely well-worn intuition power wraps plugs, which don't walk well but substantially improved skiing performance over the Palau Tour Lite Pro liners I was using previously. I'm interested in getting something that walks better with some improved skiing performance, but I'm concerned about adding too much liner material in the forefoot as my toes are happiest in with the mesh/foam toe box of the tour lite pro's.

Thanks for reaching out, Andrew. The Power LT and Tour Lite Pro Evo will be 8mm thick all around whereas the Tour Lite Pro is 7mm. They all use a perforated material around the toes, with the Tour Lite Pro Evo and Power LT feeling more substantial around the toes/toebox. The Power LT will use a stiffer foam, and feels the most substantial of the three, with the Tour Lite Pro Evo coming in second. If you are willing to thermomold, the Power LT would ski the best whilst preserving "walkability." If you can't thermomold or break the liner in, then the Tour Lite Pro Evo would be a good option.

Hi Larson,
The Palau Power LT is a pretty good spot to start for a close replacement to the stock liner. For a higher volume liner than comes stock, check out the Intuition Pro Tour in the MV. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out to help@skimo.co!

I have a '20-21 Scarpa F1 in size 28.0 that packed out quite a bit after a year of heavy touring. Now I'm kinda swimming around in that boot and have lost a significant amount of control on the downhill, especially in heavy or variable snow. I ski a 27/27.5 inbounds boot (Atomic Hawx Ultra 130s - I have the 27.5 liner) and feel I may have also bought a touring boot that was too large. Will the Power LT liner give me more of a performance fit in my 28.0 F1s and take up some of that extra swim room? Should I go with the 27.5 liner instead of the 28? Thank you!
1/29/2022
Thanks for reaching out, Will. The Power LT will feel a bit more substantial than the stock liner. If you go this route, I'd go with a size 28.0. If you have quite a bit of volume, you could also consider putting an Intuition Pro Tour in a 27 MV.

how do these compare to pro tour MV throughout the clog/cuff, particularly in the ankle area? higher or lower volume?

Hey Erik, the Intuition Pro Tour MV is likely a bit thicker than the Power LT throughout the majority of the liner. One option to consider would be adding some strategically placed boot foam around the ankle area, and possibly an aftermarket footbed depending on where your ankles are relative to the boot's ankle pocket shaping.

Thanks for your question, Jayson! If you're looking for a stiffer liner, the Intuition Pro Tour liner would serve you the best. If you have a shellfit of a "finger and half," go with a medium volume. If you have a "finger" fit (e.g., real tight) go with the low volume. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for the question, Gerhardt. This liner would be an upgrade from what comes stock with the Zero G, especially if you wanted to emphasize the range of motion. If you want an even more snug fit, go for a Intuition Pro Tour in a medium volume (MV). For most folks with this boot (myself included), the Intuition makes a big difference over the stock liner. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Answer this question:
Put these into my TLT6s (that I got used) to replace the Pro Tour liners that came with them and were hitting my ankle bone in the wrong place. Molded myself with the boiling water in plastic bag method and have had zero blisters or hot spots. Good stiffness and rearward flex, perfect replacement liner or performance upgrade!

Hi Brandon, you can thermo-mold these to get a great fit out of the gate, but it's not strictly necessary. You could also ski them in.
