They're very high volume. I have skinny ankles and shins, and wrap intuitions don't have much upper volume. tongues are better, although i prefer power-wraps. BD uses the boa system to account for this high volume fit, but intutions don't work so well.Quote:

I was thinking tongue liner for skinning. I've never used PWs in a touring boot, but I feel like the added stiffness of a wrap liner would make it harder to flex while skinning. I think coupled with the overlap shell, a tongue liner would probably work pretty well both up and down. Other than the BOA system, very unimpressed with the stock liner, and I'd say the jury is still out even on that. I have plug intuitons in my alpine boots, I'll stick them in the factors and try to comment on how much they restrict the walk mode.
