Currently I have Dalbello Kyra 95 i.d. boots with the Intuition wrap liners that came with the boots. I've loved these boots for the most part but spent much of last season fighting them. I finally had the realization that the liners are done between being packed out and me losing weight. Last year I had the good fortune to ski with @Ron on his first day or two after getting new BD foam liners made and he has raved about them since.
This weekend I went into Ron's boot shop and worked with Bill a bit but they aren't really set up yet to be doing full boot fits. We pulled apart a boot, looked at the foot bed (I'll need to replace those too as the arch has fallen in them), and had me try on the BD foam liner in the boot. Bill seemed to be trying to sell me on going with another Intuition liner instead which I am open to as well since I like it previously but I found it a bit odd. Another person working (I didn't catch his name but he has curly salt & pepper hair, maybe Ron can tell me who that was) said that they really weren't selling it much anymore because of how well the BD liners are doing. We determined that the unisex version won't work for me as the top is too high for my calves so Bill was going to look into ordering a women's version for me.
However, now I'm wavering. One of the things Bill mentioned is warmth of the Intuition vs. the BD. Ron, do you have issues with the BD being colder than whatever you had before? And what did you have before?
Anyone else have experience with the BD liners, either from the user or fitter point of view?
