Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo Liners
Palau is the liner supplier for Dynafit, La Sportiva, Fischer, and other well-known boot brands. This is because the 100% closed-cell EVA foam is highly moldable and offers great thermal retention. Being European, Palau of course didn’t forget to make their liners walk really well with strategic cutouts in the ankle and tongue-designs that don’t impede skinning. The Tour Lite Pro Evo liners are medium thickness, lightweight, with an Achilles flex zone and a Velcro closure. This model makes a great replacement for stock liners found on the SCARPA F1, Sportiva Sytron/Sideral, Dynafit TLT6/7, and other high-performance ski touring boots.
- 100% closed-cell EVA foam is very receptive to molding.
- Tongue-design doesn’t interfere with walking like an overlap.
- Velcro flap-system offers better calf-wrap and contact while skiing.
- Flex-zone behind the ankle allows for unimpeded skinning and booting.
- 8mm thick, Medium Density is light, flexible, yet reasonably warm.
- Compatible with TLT6, 7, Fischer Travers, F1, Spitfire and similar models.

Hi, I have a pair of fisher trans alp pro boots in a 26.5 and have worn out the stock liners. Any advice or suggestions on what liners work in this boot? It is an overall tight fitting boot for me and looking for a liner of similar thickness to retain the fit and feel. Would the Palau tour lite pro evo liners be the closest to stock. Seems like the intuitions tours would take up to much volume. Thanks for the help!

Hi Shane,
I think the closest match would be the Palau Power LT, which is a lower volume liner but more substantial than the Tour Lite, with a bit of a thicker tongue similar to the stock Transalp Pro liner.

These liners are a great fit for my F1 LT's. My original liners were pretty beat after 2.5 season so I got these as a replacement.
My boots are 29 and I got the 29 liners. My feet are on the line between 28.5/29. I have appreciated the extra volume and find them comfortable. I've used them regularly for the last month and have not molded them yet, I was able to get a good fit by adjusting my footbeds only. They tour great, I don't notice any restricted motion. They also fill out the calf area better than the stock liners for my skinny legs. They feel great skiing. I'd definitely buy them again.

I've got a pair of the 2020 Backland Carbon boots (25/25.5) and the stock liners are well past their life. What would you recommend as a comparable replacement liner for them? Thanks for the insights!
2/19/2024
He Ethan, this liner is a great replacement liner for the Backland Carbon. It's a smidge thicker than stock, but will mold out well. The thinner Palau Tour Lite Pro is a tad closer to the stock liner.
2/19/2024
Hi Ethan! These are a suitable replacement you bet. You'll find that the upper cuff of the Tour Lite Pro Evo is thicker which may aid in support. The lower is a bit thicker as well so a heat mold may be in order to get an ideal fit. Thanks!

I'm trying to replace the stock liners on a Technica Zero G Tour Pro 29.5. I actually have had good successs with those liners with a custom molded footbed. I'm trying to figure out what's the most similar to that liner - the palau, the intuition pro, or something else? And if it's the intuition, what weight is the most similar since I've read those tend to be thicker in general.

Hi Barron,
This Palau liner might be a little thinner than you want for a Zero G Tour Pro. It is designed more for lightweight boots. I think the Palau Power LT would be a better replacement for the stock liner, which would more closely resemble the original fit of the boot. The Intuition tongue liners would fill a little more space and would also work very well, after a heat mold. 9mm might be a bit closer to stock whereas 12mm will definitely be a little thicker.

First, thanks for being so diligent about answering questions, this is a great resource.
I have an old pair of Dynafit One U 28.0 which I can’t give up because they’re just too comfy and they ski well. I have a big two finger shell fit, but they’re just about right across the forefoot, and my heels are always locked down. I want to replace the stock packed out liners and also save some weight because I guess I’m committed to this heavier PU shell. I think a Palau liner would save me almost 200g / boot, but I’m looking for advice regarding the best replacement for fit.?
Regards,
Gordon

Gordon-Sounds like you need a thicker liner for your boots. It would be worth looking at the Palau Power LT or even possibly a better option in the thicker Palau All Track Power liner in the 28.0. Heat molding the All Track would give the best fit possible too.
6/27/2023
Thanks. Palau Power LT doesn’t seem to be available in 28.0. Should I go to 28.5, or wait for restock in the fall? Also, are there weights listed anywhere for these different liners?

Hi Gordon, the 28.5 should still work, but do note that Palau's half sizes are real, and the 28.5 is a tad longer than the 28. The size 28 would be closest to the stock liner. We do have the size 28 All Track Power Liner in stock. We will definitely restock the Power LT in the Fall, so if you want that one and can wait, we'll have it in!
We don't have these weights published, but I measure the 28.5 Tour Lite Pro Evo at 187g, the 28.5 Power LT (without laces) at 218g, and the 28.0 All Track Power (without laces) at 230g.

Tef8- These might work, but not knowing how thick the original liner is it is hard to say. Best bet is to go to a shop and try some liners on with your boot and see how they fit out of the box.

Hi, I have a 30.0 size alien RS shell. My feet are 29.0-29.5 size. I am looking for a thicker liner for more comfort especially at the tongue part. What would be your recommendation? Would a Palau Tour Lite Evo or even a Palau All Track Power LT be a solution?
Thanks
Thanks
2/10/2023
Marton, A thicker liner will only work if you have extra room in your shell. The RS is rather low volume shell. The Tour Lite Evo would be a good fit. An Intuition Pro Tour or the All Track have very thick cuffs that will not work well in the Alien.

I bought a pair of these to replace the stock liners in my Dynafit Blacklight boots. These liners are far superior. After a molding they are so comfy and formed to my feet very well. I've put a lot of days into them and they have broken in wonderfully. Highly recommended.

Hi Dom, both the 28 and 28.5 sizes will fit the Zero G Peak Carbon in a 28.5. The 28 might be a little snugger out of the box than a 28.5, but will mold out fine.

This liner is just 1mm thicker then the Tour Lite Pro. So maybe a touch warmer. For width, you should be able to mold for width equally in either.

Looking for new liners for my Scarpa F1 LT size 28. After 2 seasons on the liners they are trashed. Im looking to take up more space in my shell as I am using boot spacers to take up volume. I felt that the stock liners packed out after 1 season. Theres about ~3/4inch behind my heel when doing the shell test. Cant decide between the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo or Palau Tour Lite Pro.
Questions:
Which is better for the F1 LT?
How do these two compare with the stock liner of the F1 LT?

Hi Kevin,
The Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo will fill out some additional space as compared with the stock liner in the F1 LT. The Palau Tour Lite Pro is lower volume than the Evo, and will likely be closer to the fit of the stock liner.
As for sizing , I would get the 27.5 for a 28.0 F1 LT.

Really enjoying these liners as a replacement in my old Alien RS. The fit and warmth is great, no issues molding and the velcro closure is a really nice feature for keeping the tongue positioned all day. I have no complaints! Thanks for the suggestion Skimo Co!

Thanks Jeff, but you don't seem convinced that this is a good idea? Is the liner really thicker at the heel? it's going to cost me a lot to bring it here with customs and I want to be sure of the choice.
I also have another question: my girlfriend has scarpa F1 21.5-22 I would like to put liner on her with a better or flexible gait (palau TOUR evo) it would take her a 22.. Do you think you will receive any soon? or with you another options

Hello Frede
This could be better via email. help@skimo.co
The difference between the Tour Lite Pro's is only one mm. And the thickness of stock liners is not noted and hard to compare with the Palau.
Plus other variables. Stock liners frequently have more shape to them. Then foam densities. The TLT boots now use a denser Ultralon foam, that is more supportive. Comparing the two, the EVO will probably not be any thicker then the stock liner.

Hello Frede,
First, have you explored the idea of adding a good footbed and maybe padding the Achilles area?
Otherwise, You would want to go with the EVO liner. Both this one and the Power LT are 8mm in the foot, but the Power LT cuff is quite thick and would not be good match for a Light boot.

Hey Eddie, the Palau Tour Lite Pro Evo Liners will work great for those Roxas. They have a bit more padding on the shin and calve compared to the Palau Tour Lite Pro Liners.
9/15/2022
Thanks Cole, any idea which of these would be more similar to the original liner in terms of fit? I assume the Evos would be a bit tighter around the shin and calf due to the extra padding there?
9/15/2022
I would recommend the Evo's. The only reason you would go with the Tour Lite Pro liners is if you feel that you need the extra room in the calves and shin area. Otherwise having more padding will help with comfort and performance.

Hi
I have a pair of technical zero G scout in 27.5
The stock liners have pretty much perfect volume around my foot (high instep), but I have pressure points around my ankles (medial and lateral malleolus)- especially when in touring mode. I’ve had the boots punched, which has improved things a bit
The stock liners have minimal padding around the ankles
How will these compare (perfect for me would be the same volume in the foot, more padding in the ankle/ calf)

Tom, Foot problems.
I pulled a liner from a Scout boot and compared to the Palau liner. The Tecnica liner was a bit thicker, firmer and more molded. When it comes to pressure points, punching is the answer. Even though Tecnica has designed their boots to punch well, there is Plastic memory and punches tend to go back some to the original shape. So get punch again and More. Maybe adding boot foam around those spots will also help alleviate the hurt.

The main pressure point is over my lateral malleolus, pretty much right over the cuff pivot. It doesn't seem practical to punch there
I've padded it with boot foam, without much effect
Do you think a Power LT liner might work?
Or should I just put up with it
It's not too bad in ski mode, but hurts in walk mode after a while
In comparison, my travers CS are the most comfortable boots I've ever had

Tom, The dimpled spots on the Tecnica boots are areas that can be punched. The area around the pivot is one. You can punch carefully right on the pivot, which will help the spot above it. Every bit will help. Your problem is the shell, not the liner.
The Power LT liners could be better. They are more of a performance match to the Scout boot. Thicker at the cuff, that may help around the top of your ankle bone.

I have a pair of Scarpa TX Pro tele boots that I am trying to lighten as much as possible. They are size 26.0. I have skied them with the stock Scarpa liner and with much lighter and thinner liner from my Atomic Backland Carbons (size 25.5). I have much more space with the Atomic liners and for the most part I like this although I don't think I would want to go any thinner than that. The Atomic liners are still over 200g each and I am hoping I can get more like 150g. I am thinking the Palau Tour Lite Pro might be good. Would a 26 fit best in the Scarpas? What is the actual outside length of these? What is the weight? Thanks
4/21/2022
Hey David,
Front stitch to rear stitch is 26cm, the overall length of the liner is 27cm. The Tour Lite Pro Evo is comparable to the stock Atomic Backland liner, perhaps just a smidge higher volume, so if you don't feel slop in the boot with the Backland liners then the Tour Lite Pro Evo should work well for you. You could save a little weight by going with the Tour Lite Pro which has the same fit with the only difference being that the cuff on the Pro Evo is higher volume and more rigid. The weight of the Tour Lite Pro Evo in a 26 is 157g and the weight of the Tour Lite Pro is 143g.

Thanks for reaching out, Arne. It sounds like the Tour Lite Pro may be worth checking out. It will have more room in the calf than the tlt8 CR liner, and more volume in the forefoot than the ultralight liner. Please keep in mind the PDG2 is downsized, which means a 26.0/26.5 would have a shell size comparable to a 25.0/25.5. Therefore, you should get either a 25.0/25.5.
