Nope just the stock liners. Was debating getting prowrap plus to give a snugger fit. The stock liners in the technicas are super thin imo.

Maybe get some MV and see how they work out. If they don't work out, but new shells and use the intuitions you already have in them. If you get the HV chances are they won't fix your oversized shell fit, and they will be too tight when you get the right shell.

Is a MV intuition going to be thicker than a stock liner?

Yes, but no enough to fix 2 fingers fit.

Lol so true...yeah I think they’re just too big. I guess I’ll be selling em and moving on. No sense in wasting money on liners for boots that don’t fit correctly.

If you want a decent fit make sure you overstate where you ski and your experience level.

As unappealing as it may sound, it appears that getting a new boot is in order. They shouldn't be too hard to sell if you only have a handful of days on them.
Consider a better place to buy them. No shell fit is a sure sign of unskilled salesperson.. That's assuming you didn't say 'no thanks, I'm good; out the door'. Never been to a Moosejaw but sounds like a non bootfitter environment.
Spring for the Intuitions, and soon, on the Mag buy thread. 30% off is as good as it gets.
Tell your fitter this plan and they can help you get dialed.
Unless you have fucked up feet, a properly fitted shell and Intuitions should be all you need. Tweaks for funky spots should be minimal.
Makes me want to start a thread called ' fucked up feet'. Pics would be gnarly. It's amazing what problems people deal with to make turns.
I'm lucky in that my feet are a bootfitters dream, mid width, not pointy, even toes and a normal shaped calf/shin.
Get yer feet in shape now.

Took the boots in to where I got them (moosejaw in Grand Rapids). To my surprise I was greeted by a legit boot fitter who was in town training their staff on fitting. I got the full treatment and was put in the exact same boot...just 2 SIZES smaller. That’s right a 26 instead of 28 that their moron staff got me in last year. The dude took tons of measurements of my foot and was pissed the fitter last year didn’t do the same (he is no longer there).
Fitter said to ski them for a cpl days and bring them back and he’ll tweak them if needed. My feet are relatively easy to fit however I have broken/sprained both ankles several times so they’re kind of large so he’s already planning on possibly having to punch a couple spots.
They ended up doing an even exchange for the correct size and even gave me the updated model.

2 shells down — Sounds like street shoe size number vs boot fit size, issue.

That's the absolute best case scenario. At this point you seem to be ahead on the monies, Lebowski.
Intuition less 30%. Git sum.
