I did a search and came across similar topics but they were from people with either really old boots, or boots that were a little too big where they were hoping new liners would take up space. In my case, my boots are in great shape but the liners have packed out. However, these were my first pair of boots so I don't know if they are too "beginner" and I'd be better served buying a more intermediate/advanced boot? I'm not a hard charger so I never felt like my boots were too soft but I don't know if 80 flex is appropriate for my size/ability or if I should move up to something stiffer.
2018 was my first year skiing and I bought Head Vector 80 ski boots in a 23.5 (I'm 5'2", 125 lbs). I believe they were the right size as they were tight but comfortable when I first put them on and the first few days of skiing, I had to unclip them between runs and take them off after a couple hours. Once they were broken in, they were very comfortable and I could ski pretty much all day without adjustments. After 40+ days skiing these boots, I noticed this past season that I had to really crank my buckles down to try to snug up the boots so I think my liners are shot.
1. Are these a decent enough boot that they are worth keeping if they are in excellent shape and fit my feet well?
2. If so, would getting an Intuition liner like maybe one of the Wrap styles work well in this boot? I want something that will last longer than the flimsy stock liners.
3. Any recommendations for a liner model that would work well with these Head boots? We do not live near any boot fitters so I can't try on any liners to see how they compare.
Thanks!
