 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've managed to cut through one of the internal lacing points on the liner to my snowboard boots. These are Burton Moto boots with an Imprint 1 liner.
I'll try a repair, but wondered whether any sH boarders have found or used replacement liners for their boots?
The way I see it, the liners would be the first things to replace, if they have packed down over time. But a quick bit of googling this afternoon has drawn a blank.
The boots are 10 years old, used for 1 week per year so fairly light usage. Being that old, I didn't expect to be able to buy anything identical to replace the liners. But I did hope (naively) that I might replace the liners with something from the after market.

And I know, yes they are very much 'entry' boots. I am probably not quite up to anything too stiff.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Probably better off with some kind of repair job either sewing up the cut or put a new eyelet in or something.

You can get new liners from Intuition but it would be cheaper to just get new boots.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Wouldn’t think the liner lacing makes that much difference anyway on a boot that soft. I’ve ripped a few eyelets out over the years and hasn’t made any noticeable difference.
I don’t even use the inner laces on one pair of boots I have. Took them off to reduce the faff.

Considering the light usage and age of your boots, exploring a repair option or contacting Burton for advice on replacement liners could be a helpful next step.

Thats good advice above ....as you never know burton could just send you a new pair if it seems any kind of fault .
They used to take care of customers like that .
Otherwise sew it up as said above as its the easy option....do it with some backing patches to hold it all together
Absolute sells liners but the price isnt worth it .
Ive used ski boot liners but found them to stiff and also used Remind liners in board boots but Im not sure if Remind are still doing liners .
What size are the boots I may have 11.5uk liners but not burton .

I doubt Burton will support them at over 10 years old, worth contacting them to check though.
How about trying to buy a used pair on Ebay?

Cheers, all!
I'm reluctant to bin them, as the boots really have been only lightly used. I've a little time on my hands this week so will attempt a repair.
Ta muchly for the tip about fixmybinding.com @Richard_Sideways, that site is a goldmine of useful bits and bobs. And some new Imprint 3 liners would be £44, if my repair doesn't work.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

although they are too old, send an email zu burton customer support.
From all the companies i bought something, their customer support is the best. At least for my occassions.
Even in the cases they didnt do anything, they send me a discount code for 20% or something likes this
