 I have no knowledge of similar liners. However, no piece of equipment has helped my skiing more than these liners. They are extremely comfortable and warm. I'm in ski boots several hours a week and never felt the need to take them off except to drive home. I have the Silver (medium density) liners and don't feel the need for the stiffer Gold liners. The overlap design in these liners require some attention. Sometimes when taking the boots off, the overlap at the bridge of the foot becomes displaced. Just be sure the overlap is where it's supposed to be before buckling up. These liners are a little tough to get into occasionally but they are soooo worth it. You might want to look at the new tongue design out now. Maybe that design solves the problem. You can heat fit these yourself with directions you'll find on this site. I wouldn't re-heat them more than 2 times. They shrink each time the're re-heated. 

I have a narrow heel and these liners just did not have the capacity to fill in the space around my narrow achilles...leaving me with very little heel hold-down.  I find the heel is the most important place for the boot grip the foot.    In the end I moved these liners to my A/T boots and before I heat molded them, I stuck a few "C" pads to the shell in attempt to fill in the achilles and get more heel hold.  It worked pretty well.  I purchased Zip Fits for my alpine boots and they are WAY better.

I first bought a pair of test overlap liners (precursors to the current plug liner, with similar 9mm high density foam) about six or seven years ago and it made a world of difference to my feet.  I also have a set of the current Power Wrap Plug liners in a different pair of 190 flex Lange RL1 World Cup plug boots.

I have crazy feet. Very high arches, one foot a 10.5 and other a 9.5, Morton's toe, wide flair at the toes, and the obligatory '6th toe' bump at the 5th metatarsal.  My boots have always required lots of work and blowing out of both shell's and stretching of the left shell (I buy shells to fit my small foot, then bump the heel pocket back slightly in the shell and bump out the toe box slightly).  Despite this, I've never been able to get a boot to fit me comfortably for any length of time, and unbuckling my boots in the lift line was always standard operating procedure.

Getting the Intuition liners solved all my problems.  I still need to get my shells worked on, but with the Intuitions inside they now fit like a perfectly fitted glove and are far warmer as well.  On occasion I have needed to have them re-heated and re-fit due to a detached achilles and the large bump the surgery left on my left heel where they re-attached it, and re-fitting solved the problem (no charge by the shop).  I have had one liner re-heated three times and the plug liner redone twice.

When getting fit for the liners it is very important that they use a neoprene cap over your forefoot and toes, as this creates a bit more 'wiggle room' for the piggies, as well a bit of extra space for the common 5th metatarsal bump.

The plug liner is very thin and firm, but if heated long enough and then clamped as tight as you can into the boot during the cooling process, it will conform perfectly to your foot and be perfectly comfortable (although definitely not plush).  I find I only need my buckles tightened very slightly to get my foot perfectly snugged into the boot, with no movement, and at this setting I can ski for a couple of hours without feeling the need to loosen the boot (unlike the couple of 'minutes' I could ski before I got the liners).

There are other similar custom liners out there, but I have no experience with them so can't comment on the comparison.  All I can say is that for someone with extremely challenging feet, I couldn't be happier.

Bought at ski shop 1 month ago (Nov 09) put into Nordica Speedmachine 10's.  Fit perfectly on right foot and too short on L foot.  Wore 4 times and had to stop using.  L foot almost 1/2 size bigger than R foot and have to blame boot size of old boots and my feet have changed.  Really like the firmness and instant feedback the liners gave my foot/feet/ankle movement.  Too bad my L foot was just too long for a fit in the probably too small L boot.
