My boots—Nordica Promachine 120—were fitted at sea level on the East Coast; but I use them at 10,000 feet in Colorado, where my feet and calves are a slightly different shape. Recently, after about 120 days on the boots, I added a pair of Patriot’s liner sleeves and now (after five days on snow and with the addition of one of the supplied foam bars) the boots fit better than when they were new. I’m wearing the same socks as before, so I had to fiddle with the buckles a bit, but even on very cold days there’s no more heel lift. Once or twice I could feel the forward edge of the sleeve under my right foot, which prompted me to pull out the liner to make sure I’d installed the sleeve correctly; turned out I had, and the feeling went away. This might be the best $45 I’ve ever spent on ski gear. (And what bit of ski gear now costs only $45?)

Liked them
They really worked! My issue is that. Have very high arch and the band spurns the ankle is creating painful pressure point for me

Patriot boot liner socks
I absolutely love the difference it's made to my boot fit. I have the K2 BOA boots. Which are are really wide fitting. So this always left heel movement. Anyway after fitting the sleeve over liners, the fit of the boot was absolutely perfect and the boot was instantly more responsive. I could highly recommend this product. A really cheap and effective solution to wide fitting boots. I had 1 tiny drawback, in that, the boot and footed felt a little different. I just kept skiing for two days in them. Then my feet got used to the adjustment, with no issues at all now. A really simple, effective and easy to use product. Thank you Patriot.

great volume reducer
they did the trick for a boot liner that is packing out. Much better fit but fells like a tempory fix.
