The flexiest softest Intuition Liners? Mukluk Liners? Palau?
Picked up a pair of Arcteryx Procline boots.
I want to use these for climbing, where I am accessing the climbs via skis.
Mobility and climbing performance is much more important to me for these boots than how they ski. When I'm in these boots, I will be on short skis, just trying to get to and from the climb.
The "support" liners that came stock with these boots are too stiff and bulky. I am looking to replace them with some softer liners. Checking out the Intuition web site, I see a couple of softer liners that might work.
They have a Mukluk liner that looks like it might work
Nothing to add re: liners, but my touring partner came to the conclusion that these boots are climbing focused and will likely be fantastic for your use-case. He loved the walk mode and the support he felt they gave as a mountaineering/climbing boot, that also happens to have tech fittings and enable one to “survival” ski” well enough.
La Sportiva uses Palau liners and they have a bunch on sale on their NA website. The Syborg liner looks like a tall version of the G2 SM liner, the latter of which is a liner for a liner/boot combo that climbs quite well.
I have the "Skimo" liner in my main touring boots that I also use for ice climbing (I wish they would make the LS boot sole rocker more compatible with crampons. What a chore to get even a reasonable fit). I also have the G2SM with stock liners. I think both would work for you, but prob the Syborg might be the better choice? They're on sale, maybe buy both and return one.
How about the Arcteryx liner from their Acrux AR ice climbing boots? I have these AR boots and the liners would be great for a lighter liner in their Procline. https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/gore-tex-high-liner
