im not sure if i can help but my hot doggers are so much leaking it just my toes are so warm and they sweat. the liner gets really wet from that and i always take my liners out after every day to dry them. and it is usually in my toe area too. so idk if this is what you meant by your problem.

Your problems is in your ski socks. I recommend getting Icebreaker socks, they are pricey but are made of merino wool from New Zealand. Merino wool is more breathable then traditional wool and will keep any moisture and odour out of the socks. In my opinion, they make the best ski socks out there.

Hope this solves you guy's problems.

^ if that doesnt work try putting a piece of duct tape over the area where the tounge meets the boot. Looks sketchy but works like a charm.

if water is definitely leaking into the boot, his socks won't keep the liner from taking in water (but having good socks is totally necessary in general).

Do you dry your boot out after skiing? Is the moisture in the toe box a result from days and days of sweating in your liners? If so, you need to remove them from the shell and dry them out.

If you do dry them out but they get this wet from skiing, then you have a leak somewhere and you need to toss some duck(t) tape on there.

This I have noticed is a problem with the full tilts. The rubber seal is inadequate and the boot does leak pretty consistently.

thanks for all the help people!
as for the drying and all that after my first day i took out the liners and the even the boot boards and let them dry for about 10 hours infront of my woodstove and it still happened the next day... for christmas im getting some real ski socks although i dont think its the problem so i may ducktape the seems of the toung or put silicone or something on the inside to make a waterproof seal

thanks again for the help!
