I was hoping to use these sleeves inplace of injecting "the stuff" into the boot liner I have … I liked the feeling of the sleeve around my ankle, however I could not handle the strap between my foot and the footbed. Just too much pressure to wear out skiing. Only got from car to lift and then had to take them off. I tried this twice and had the same result. So, I guess the injection method is next.
Hello Mauritz,
You do not wear the sleeve on your feet. It needs to go on the outside of your liner!
Please review the product images and the instructions for how to install and use them.
I have the Tru-Strap with a Zipfit Workhorse liner. I love how the inner Velcro strap snugs the tongue against my shin. Better than a Booster. Firmer hold.
Made my boots too tight and tough to not have them scrunch up when inserting and overpriced for what is probably $3 of material.
I was sceptical to say the least when I bought these and even more so when they turned up as seemingly they just looked like a ankle support bandage. I genuinely thought they were going to do nothing but I was absolutely amazed when I tried them with the immediate difference in heel movement. I bought the wedges to go with them as I thought I'd need them but they're still sat unopened.
Genuinely impressed with these liners
Game changer kit did change the game. Don't even think about my feet anymore. Bought the dual booster strap too. It all works great
Like 'em! Great design ... well manufactured ... feel like they contributed to improving my skiing performance. Better than other comparables.
I wasn’t quite sure about how effective the liner sleeves would be given how simple it is. My liner is 10 years old and very packed down, to the point my feet kinda swim a bit in the boots. The liner sleeves from Patriot made a HUGE difference. My feet now feel quite secure, but I don’t feel terribly squeezed. I think this small investment will get me another couple of years, at least, of use out of these boots. I’m quite happy with the results
Definitely created a hug around my ankles and gave me a lot of power in my turns.
This kit is amazing made my boots so much better and the customer service is amazing! Thanks for the great products and even better service!!
These footbeds and the liner sleeves have made a huge difference in the fit and responsiveness of my boots! They have made me a better skier!
I own a pair of custom carbon boots (Dodge ski boots from Vermont), they are now 6 years old and the liner had become too compressed. When I decided to replace the liner, they were out of stock of their own and I stumbled upon Patriot, the price was about the same so I went for it. They are lower volume than my OEM liners but other than making it more difficult to get into the boots, it did not create any new pressure point and I did not even thermoformed them like the previous one. The season is now over for me but I got 4 sessions in and I can attest that my skiing improved instantly with these liners. I have much better control and precision, it is especially noticeable while skiing super tight glades where you kiss a tree if you miss the turn. I used to tighten the buckles to the max, with these I'm half way in and they feel tight. Very pleased, I now expect another 6 years out of my carbon shells.
My boots are only two years old but having worn them for over 20 weeks they were feeling quite sloppy. I was contemplating buying new boots but having bought a pair of liners for a fraction of the cost my boots have a new lease of life! I reckon I’ll get at least another season out of them. Heals are totally locked in! Would totally recommend!
Game changer!! My boots were packed out. On last buckle and still loose. Put these in, no issues getting boots on and off and no longer swimming in my boots Thank you
My feet move less and my ankles feel more locked in. That said I can also feel the liner sleeves and my heels (the “balls of my heels” if you will) feel like they’re constricted. I’m right at the size split, so that could have something to do with it. Don’t love them, don’t hate them; will keep fiddling to find the right fit.
