Vapor/Strada boot liner

[cragginshred]

I cut the material (pictured) that is peeling away on my rear boot liner. I was mildly concerned the foam without this material might not release my foot? what do you all think??

It was way more comfy skiing today with out this material bunching up in the boot. Just trying to make it last through Oct. I have a replacement but this one is broke in!

The boot will stay on and pull out of your binding. At least mine does, and so has my ski partner's. I believe they are designed that way.

To quote the Black Knight...."its just a flesh wound".

Your loyalty towards that liner is admirable.

@davemac‌ you should see my liner. @webbdawg99‌ can attest that I'm very loyal to it..

At this point, @MattP's liner is more duct tape than actual liner

a prominent skier/coach was at our lake last weekend. I marveled that his liner is 75% held together with "Alabama Chrome"

This is where I am coming from! I trimmed the peeling material and it works just fine. Duct tape will be next!

The liner comes out with your foot. The release depends on the strip of material down the back of the liner and how it interfaces with the shell. As long as that strip is ok, you should be fine. Of course the other dependency is to have some elasticity left in the lace after putting on the system. You MUST have some give in the laces for the release to initiate.

I have cut out most of the material over the foam on my strada liner. Once I did that, it regained the comfort factor and looked better. I actually use my strada liner now with my R-style boot with a velcro strap around the top to keep it on (mainly because I'm cheap).
