Curious what the masses here think about Zipfit versus Intuition? Would eventually like to put some in my Raptors. Don't really have a goal for doing so (ie warmer, softer, etc).
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
Another vote for Zipfit. That is based on 300+ days experience in those liners. Much better experience and longevity compared to everything else I have used, including Strolz and Sidas foam liners. No experience however with Intuition.
I have found Zipfits to be very comfortable, probably partly because you don’t need to screw the buckles down to race-tightness to achieve great heel & forefoot hold-down. Some reviewers have said they are cold, but I cannot say I have noticed any significant difference between them and foam or stock liners. Using the recommended approach of putting the liners on first and then the shell (and the opposite for removal) is easy. It also means the liner is out of the boot each night, allowing them to dry out better.
The negatives? After 300 days, they now look really trashed from the abrasion caused by repetitive insertion / extraction into and out the boot shell. They still function, but the cosmetics are not good! The toe box is made of neoprene, which is not water-proof. If your shell leaks, then your feet will get wet. Finally... they are expensive (but possibly not on a $/day basis).
I have the Intuition Pro Tongue. I love them and they are warmer than the stock liners from my Lange's & Head's. I've never used the Zipfit's so I can't comment or compare, but I've felt like it was money well spent.Would like to hear some more info about the Intuition liners........shop near me recommended them as a replacement last for my Lange RX110's that have about 150 days on them. Want to hear more info and insights before moving forward.

Ken did you go to Intuition immediately in the Hawks or did you wait for the original liners to pack out. I have the same boots and am still using the original liners. My previous boots had Intuition pro liners which I also liked very much. Just curious. Agree with your pros and cons re. the Intuition liners.
I had my pro liners reheated and the heel slid over to the side and I didn't realize. I could never get the liner to fit right again. Went to the wrong shop for that one, ugh.
