I bought this out of desperation years ago when I had the Scarpa Alien 1.0 race boots with the sock-style liner: no, not a bikini-style partial height liner, but a full-height liner, no tongue, no overlap, just a long tight liner … that was a struggle to get on, in any conditions, in any context.
First I bought a long metal shoe horn at a regular store.
But that just didn’t work.
Then some searching revealed this, from some sort of etailer catering to alpine downhill skiers seemingly incapable of putting on their own boots unassisted, let alone getting themselves to the top of a snow-covered mountain, sans mechanical conveyance.
I was almost embarrassed to place that first order, but … this just really works. Really well. Your feet will be so happy to slip into your boots effortlessly.
Plus you won’t bunch up your socks in the process.
