    How do you know if your boot liners are clapped?

    I've got ~40 days on some Salomon MTNs with stock liners. About 30 days touring and 10 at the resort. I'm 200 lbs and ski fast at the resort, less so in the backcountry. The boot shells are worn but seem to have plenty of life left. This seems to be the point people start considering replacing the liner. How do I know if its time?

    If they aren’t intuitions or zip fits, replace them at any time with some that are. Keep the stockers as backups while they’re still skiable.

    I’d personally string them along until slop or pain. Then again, I’m mostly a jong. Even as a jong though I could tell when it was time. Side to side slop in my case. Obvious. I could tighten the toe buckle to stop it, but then it caused pain. Slop or pain.

    If the bootfungus starts a bridge club, you're in trouble.

    Slop you are trying to correct for by over tightening the boots
