Hello, i just need some information on what i should do in this situation, i am about to buy a pair of boots for 120$, they have been used for 3 seasons, and molded twice, i mean from the out side the boots look fine ? they look like they have been used for only a year or so, but im just concerned about the fact that the boots have been molded twice, should i purchase this boot ? it is the right size for me, i got fitted for FT'S at my local shop, and he said i need a 28, and these boots are 28's. I just don't know very new to skiing, and im not looking to spend 300$ on boots. so just lemme know what i should do. ++K FOR INFO !!!

Thanks

You can buy new liners online or your shop can order them for you.

So yes you can get new liners.

i hope you realize new liners cost around $150 upwards for a good pair of intuition liners.....also the liners on full tilts can be molded up to 6x so unless they are packed out and really thin you should be fine with the ones in the boots

no only way to tell is by trying them and skiing them....should be fine as long as he wasnt doing uber ski sessions at like 60+ days a season and doesnt weigh a ton
