    Using Intuitions in more than one shell?

    So I've got a question for the masses. I just got some purty new boots: Garmont Axons w/ Intuition liners. Spent the weekend on em and they're $$$. So far, I can't say any bad things about them. But I do have an issue: due to lack of funds, I can't afford proper bindings for another couple weeks. I've been using Trekkers, so for the weekend tours I rigged the Solly 912's to actually hold in the Axons for decents pretty welll, but I was just skiing them in low-angle trees. Tomorrow I'm heading to the resort and don't want to trust that rigging for hard in-bounds skiing on a pow day. So the binding is back to my Apline boots (Technica Diablo). My question is this: can I use the Intuition liners from the Axons in the Technica's, or is this a bad idea since they have been molded to the Axon? Anyone use their Intuitions in more then one shell? Does it hold up?

    Thanks for the help, everyone!! I hope you all enjoy the hell out of the next few days!!!!!!
    Skiing, whether you're in Wisconsin or the Alps, is a dumbass hick country sport that takes place in the middle of winter on a mountain at the end of a dirt road.

    I wouldn't do it as I would think it would prolly force your intuitions into some funky shapes.

    I've seen in another thread before that it will work, just won't be quite as good of a fit as they will be in the axons. Ideally the intuitions don't change shape much at all when not heated.

    Although with such a nice new boot setup, I'm not sure if I would risk it.

    I used a set that I swapped from AT to Tele for a little bit. It works, it's not ideal.

    Be sure to post in the AT Boot Flex List thread to assert appropriate place in the chart for the Axons.

    It just depends on how similar the shells are shaped inside. If they are way different it will feel all wrong, if they are very similar then no problems. So stick the intutions in your other boots and see

    In my experience, since heat moldable liners conform so well to the shape of the boot, it really doesn't work putting liners in different boots.

    Being a super lazy guy who hates molding liners, for the last season I have been using the same pair of molded liners (the tongue version, not the overlaps) in the following shells (all scarpa) -

    T-Races
    T2s
    Lasers
    F1s

    No problems to report; if anything, it's been nice to have predictability. However, after being tired of constantly drying out my liners to ski the next day, I finally did mold my other 3 pairs of liners last week. I'll be curious to see if I can tell a difference.

    Just my experience.
