No knee pads, clearly not a ripper.

I've seen Scarpa Intuition liners on Sierra trading in the recent past for cheap...like $40 IIRC. I think they are usually out of Gea and/or Maestrale. Could be an option*.
Or just get new ones and be set for another 10 years. Pass the old ones on or keep as backup.
*for dirtbags
^ That's great

If only they would bend a knee more often.

Wait ...... 10 years on a LINER?!!??!? All you do is drive in your ski boots, correct? With normal use a BOOT won't last 10 years, let alone a liner.
And nice one, Whipski. Excellent form.

I had a pair of BD Pushes that went about 10 years with their original liner. And a few of those years I was working in them. They are still working well enough to keep around as backups and loaners.

YMMV I have a set of pwer wraps I bought for the Mercury and then I had to remold them smaller to fit in a Vulcan, the linr is 10 yrs old,
also some Orange ID pwrwrap liners in Dalbellos that are 12 yrs old, but then I got small feet and i'm not hard on foot wear
I asked buddy at the intuition factory outlet about the Scarpa liners, he sez they don't have quite the same construction of foam but it sounded pretty close
normal is just a setting on the dryerLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

I’m easy on foot wear and managed to miss the last 5 winters. Boots themselves are still good.

yeah the mercury's were always a pretty tight shell fit and a pretty tight mold which was OK but after upgrading to Vulcans which should be exactly the same shell I found out in reality Vulcan were VERY slightly less volume to the point I got a remold on the way thru Vangroovy from niseko, so that was probably part of why the liners lasted so long ... a tight fit to begin with

NO body likes 7TM cuz they want a more active binding but they ski OK to me so I still have a set, by kicking out and leaving the plate on the boot its like having step-in tele-binding

3 pin hardwires are great bindings!

Not gonna lie, I bought a new pair last season. And a pair of 3 pin cables too.
After a decade seeking out stiffer and more active setups I did a 180 and went back to T2's and soft bindings. Just wanted to match the conditions I like to tele in.
Horses for courses I suppose.

Are those voile bindings?
If they are the ones I think they are they were awful 35 years ago
