Looks like a military surplus store is blowing out old liner and new style liner T4s for $99-$129.

Re: PSA: milsurp Scarpa T4s
Anybody know the difference between new liner style and old liner style?

Re: PSA: milsurp Scarpa T4s
I skied the old liner for many years, it was fine. The newer liner is an Intuition liner. After I damaged my original liner, I replaced it with an Intuition Logan liner. The Logan is lighter, thinner, and heat moldable. I have not needed to heat mold it, as I’m the guy that the boot fits well.
I can’t comment on the Intuition liner Scarpa uses. I do remember the “new” T-4 was lighter. The liner will be heat moldable.
If your feet fit Scarpa boots both should work well. The Intuition liner is a nicer liner, I would pay a little extra. If I was on a budget, I wouldn’t think twice about the older version T-4. The boot is a nice part of my boot quiver.

That's so cheap for an Intuition liner it feels like a scam.
Has anyone ordered one of these? Do we know it is legit?
It is well known that tele-nerds are suckers for liner sales!

Re: PSA: milsurp Scarpa T4s
what's the conversion size for usa 12?
Re: PSA: milsurp Scarpa T4s
I have a pair of excursions which are good with karhu guides, but too soft for my voile ultra vectors with switchbacks.
Do the T4s have more backbone than excursions? The locking back looks more promising than the non locking excursion.
Thanks. Jeff

Re: PSA: milsurp Scarpa T4s
Looked at this again today. Is this for the liner or for the boots? For some reason I thought this was just for the new liner but it actually looks like it is for the boots. Anyone know for sure?

Re: PSA: milsurp Scarpa T4s
Scarpa boots break on the 1/2 size. So a 28.5 shell is bigger than a 28 shell. I have both 28.5 and a 29 shell. They both fit my size 11 foot. I did need a different liner for the 29. I think a 29 would fit a US 11 1/2 well
