Custom Liners are designed to provide a unique feeling and custom fit to any ski or snowboard boot. From heat moldable liners to foam or cork injected liners, these custom liners ensure that the customer's equipment is modified specifically to the individuals foot. There are many options out there on the market, some coming stock with the boot and others are purchased seperately, including Intuition, BootDoc, ZipFit and others.
VACUUM FULL FIT enables a complete fitting of the shell through VACUUM 2Zone for maximum individuality and optimum fit. In Fischer's VACUUM FULL FIT process, the shell is heated to 80°C before you step inside the shell with the boot liner. The Cooling and Compression Pad is put on and the standing position is fixed. Fischer has developed the VACUUM Station especially for this purpose. It is the heart of the fitting process. Compressed air is used to shape the entire boot ideally to match the foot – and the boot retains this shape once it has cooled down.
