The liner sleeve works as advertised. I was having some trouble with my heels lifting in my boots. The sleeve, in combination with the inserts, have definitely helped.

New Liner Sleeve
Recently received my new liner sleeve set! When I installed them at home and tried on the boots, the first thing I noticed was the "toe box" is now "very" tight and my toes are now uncomfortably scrunched. I did not expect this at all. Yes the mid foot and heel are much tighter though! Have not skied them yet, should get out on the hill later this week. TBD about my toes being so scrunched that they might get cold....... figures crossed that this is "not" going to be a problem. Installation was easy, I just followed the video. Surprisingly, the product I received does NOT match the ones in the videos. Mine are all black and the j-bar pockets are on the inside of the sleeve, not outside like in the video?!!!??? Was I shipped an older version? 4 stars only for now, skiing in them will be the ultimate test. TBC
Hello NH,
It will be great to see your review after you ski as you will feel how much more snug and responsive your boots now are!
In regards to your toe fit, you might just need a little time for them to settle in. It may just be a perception, and I would recommend trying one boot on with a sleeve and one boot on without. That will give you a better gauge.
For the colour and construction, this has never changed. I am not sure why you are ennvisioning a different colour. We only ever have used a black neoprene. Also there has never been an external pocket, it has always been on the inside.
Thanks.

Not for racing boots
I was really looking forward to try these sleeves. However, they are way too thick to be used in racing boots. I have to slight movement of the heals in my boots so I thought these would solve the issue. I tried them on and after only 5 minutes I couldn’t feel my feet anymore. They completely blocked the blood circulation in my feet. I haven’t even tried them on the slopes. If you have racing boots I would think twice before buying these.
Hello Ian,
We ask that you please review the instructions and materials we provide for this exact situation. They will work well with racing boots and have many other race skiers and technical skiers using them. There is a process of adjustment you would need to follow to see success with them.

Awesomeness!
The price was right, so I thought I would give them a try.
I can’t believe how much better my feet feel, and how much better control I have.

Works as promised
Absolutely work as advertised and worth several times the cost. They have changed my relationship with my ski boots and have elevated my skiing and the fun I'm having on the slopes. I highly recommend the liner sleeves!
