Testimonial
I love the Surefoot products, right now I am skiing in the X3 liner and could not imagine skiing without it as they make my Surefoot RX130 boots fit tight and comfortable something that I didn't think was possible before I started skiing with liners from Surefoot! Do yourself a favor and get your boots from Surefoot.

Testimonial
All I had to do was to slide my hand in a friends Surefoot boot to be sold. I could feel all the contours of a perfectly molded custom boot. I felt all the little irregular holes around the ankle. I could feel every little irregular shape around the ankle bone. I absolutely needed a pair!
The next winter I made the best investment for my skiing by buying the whole set-up. My very first run was a big eyes opener. I had so much control, power and feeling. Transferring from one edge to the other is noticeably faster and more precise. Going top speed and stomping big air with control is now possible. I could never go back!
