Lace up liners?

[theglider]

Maybe a compromise between performances and comfort, particularly for on-groomers free-skiing (e.g. non racing) might be a standard "shop graded boot" (e.g. non race plug models with a 93mm last and very stiff plastics) with a last of 96-98mm and a partial lace up liner (I know for sure that Dalbello and Tecnica do offer this option, maybe others too).

This winter I've got Salomon S/Max 130 and they are exactly like that. 98 mm last and lace up liners. Quite convenient too as you can lace/unlace without pulling out the liner.
