Rollerblade Nomad Liner - Better than an Intuition for £50 cheaper?

[@LocoSkates]

To be clear, Nomad Liners are £140 and Intuition Premium liners are £190 (price got cut post-upload because it was wrong!)

[@emanoslo]

The most important test we need is a performance to smell ratio.

[@iWashbar]

😂😂

[@CurzOnline]

I laughed too hard at this 😂

[@bladeshred01]

intuition 3 years old in South Florida weather, no smell BUT I use boot driers and clean socks, EVERY SINGLE session...$20 on Amazon, worth it!!...plus who likes sweaty and funky liners anyways 🤣 Another well done vid guys🤘

[@rollforever85]

Loving the more regular uploads btw. Edited or not they’re always enjoyable to watch

[@briansparks1632]

The very combination I was looking forward to hearing about (Lightning 90 + Nomad). Appreciate this and would really appreciate follow up after skating in them a bit.

[@TheMadHatter1330]

Here is the first honest report of these liners. Cost me £6 delivery then £3 to return them so please let me share my thoughts. They look decent in the bag, as soon as i had them in hand i could tell these are not a premium product. The reason intuition is popular is because of the high end foam, Rollerblade has used flimsy non responsive cheap crap uncomfortable foam around the cuff area that causes the hard outer material to dig into your ankle. Tested in my living room on an FR1, PS Next and Seba E3. Can't fit inside Next without removing both velcro boards, the foam offers very little support, can't lean to the side without discomfort. Can use both boards on FR1 & Seba E3, using the boards makes them unbearable creates a stabbing pain at the V cut area. Removing the top board helps slightly but still very uncomfortable. Laces go most of the way down your foot, it's awkward trying to get in to tighten them properly, speed laces would have been a better option, also the given laces are not waxed and are a good few inches too long, that'll be another £10 to replace the laces. The grey towel material looks totally out of place at the front and ruins the look down. They are dual sized, the 300-305 is very much just a 305, they give you a foot board riser which is a completely flat insole that is supposed to reduce the size by 5mm, first trying them on i thought they feel ok, after couple mins i absolutley can feel the extra 5mm gap, these are not a good fit for me. You can't size down a shell with these quite the opposite the outer material is massive at the front forefoot area, extremely tight getting them inside a Next, they fill the FR1 well. They sit quite low, roughly 5mm lower than a reaction liner, only just covers the cuff on the FR1, the intuition is a good couple inches taller. No removable shock absorber, it's built into the soul and is far too soft for me. Sending them back today. *Edit, just noticing thay the velcro receiver on the boot has came unglued and is peeling away.

[@StreetBladerBloke]

Thank u for the review I ll stick to my intuition wizard liners for next which works perfectly for me in the next shell sized down. I'll pass nomad

[@Andrew_DC5]

Been skating these for a couple weeks in my Blanks. Been mostly on intuition premiums for a couple years. Straight out the box the Nomads had zero break in time, super comfortable straight from the get go. Feels like they took the base of the intuition and made it better in my opinion.

f rollerblade

[@fitzfizzy]

Weirdly my feet are in a gap in the sizing in these liners so I'm not sure if I should upsize or downsize, glad to see an actual review on these!

[@maddox69420]

Considering the number of people with pronated feet and flat feet, companies should really fix the issue of ankle pressure caused by hard boots and tough liners. Simply cutting a hole out of a hardboot (around the medial malleolus) and softening the liner material in the same area solves this issue. This should be a fundamental element in hard boot / liner design!

[@clobbyhardy]

Bont carbon frame wedges and many repeated heat molding sessions got it tolerable for my quite pronated and very flat feet. I’ve considered cutting a hole in the boot, but I was concerned it would weaken the boot too much. Have you actually done this?

[@maddox69420]

@clobbyhardy Yes, I cut the hardboot and it makes no material difference to the structure! I have been skating almost every other day since and have felt zero pressure on my ankle so highly recommend it!

[@erinspicethreshercake1504]

How can i see this... i need to see what you're talking about!​@maddox69420

[@2bannounced817]

Interested to see how these would be in Fifth Elements, seems like it might be a match

[@nofx21081]

It looks like the inside is very similar to my KEEN work boots LOL…. which I absolutely love because they are so comfortable on the inside

[@mattyoung7415]

Did anyone else say 'wanna get high?' their head when they described the material as 'towlie'?

[@Stoitism]

They look great but the soft tounge is a deal breaker for me by now so i'll be sticking with intuition.

[@jamesmcglin8291]

The material inside is the same as the material in my tree planting boots..its top grade and very impressive to see it in a liner. Got to be better than intuition just by having that

[@ravenouspathogen]

I'll be sticking with my wizard 3m liners.

[@Johro66]

I guess you'd skate them for a while with the Nomad in one boot and the Intuition in the other for a true comparison

[@altruex]

wondering if the rollerblade liner j straps fit on the intuition I wanted to do custom fitting for my liners

[@indigoWavves]

I would take a chance if they were a significantly cheaper than a Intuition but if it's about the same price, I'll wait for a sale or go Intuition

[@LocoSkates]

Update. Turns out we had the price wrong. Nomad is £140.

[@StreetBladerBloke]

Nice review guys, my take from ur nomad review is, if wizard skating then stick to intuition or myfit second skin liner as they both are stiff for the tricks required for wizard. Would you agree?

[@Rafaelinux]

I would really love to know exactly how many mm it adds to your feet in a boot. I bought a lightning size 40 and my foot sits perfectly without the liner, with about 4-5mm extra all sides. The stock liner crushes my feet. Would this help at all?

[@diegobokserramirez6417]

The Intuition liner is a super low volume liner which would probably help alleviate pressure on your foot. This Nomad liner may offer the same comfort.

[@Rafaelinux]

@@diegobokserramirez6417 The "may" part is the problem, haha. A diagram showing the internal and external dimensions of the Nomad liner would be helpful!

[@shingweima]

How is the sizing compared to the Intuition? I'm 28cm, which would put me in the UK9-9.5, but I used the 27-27.5cm Intuition Premium. Thanks

[@icemanbtlr25]

I imagine sizing is exact, like the blank liner rollerblade doesn't do sizing games like everybody else

[@shahrezaannaz4964]

Use the 43/44

[@MkNine]

would these work well with the Rollerblades Pro X?

[@LocoSkates]

Yes, no issue!

[@SaccoBelmonte]

I think the only real way to test and compare is with some M12. That will tell you which liners are more supportive.

[@ericbernardi8116]

Will these be as durable is the main question... Doesn't matter if it is a little cheaper if you have to buy 2 for the same time period 😏

[@Rollerbalder]

Seriously, I'm on year three with my Intuitions (out of the UFR) and they're still in great shape. Worth the investment for sure.

[@rollforever85]

I own the intuition premium and don’t particularly like them. I’m highly interested in these.

[@thomasclavinjr.3817]

Why don’t you like them? Interested in buying

[@icemanbtlr25]

I thought they were gonna be 159?

[@LocoSkates]

Yes, they are. £140 / $160. We've adjusted the info now.

[@Rafaelinux]

Why is the pricing so different there? It's $160 vs intuition'S $220 liner elsewhere

[@LocoSkates]

You're right. Nomad is in fact £140 UK price. We've updated the wrong info now 👍

[@Rafaelinux]

@@LocoSkates Awesome!

[@NoBuddyz]

I’m quit happy with Seba CJ Foryos over the FR AP intuition for comparison

[@bladelab]

I tried anything and FR Intuition liners are the best so far. Thems are thicker, Premium and Skate feels too thin. I have the CJ liner, it's almost as good but doesn't isolate you from edges that well.

[@NoBuddyz]

@@bladelab Thanks for the insight. I haven’t tried Them Intuition or Intuition V2. I liked the Premiums without the cuff and heel pad in Salomons. FR Intuition is really nice. The thickness of the Foryos and insole just work for my feet with intuition heel pad

[@daniellewinton2398]

Most important is size. Like 13?

[@StreetBladerBloke]

Guys look like Sizes are running out of stock, when it's likely to get new Nomad stocks?

[@LocoSkates]

@@StreetBladerBloke we’re just waiting on rollerblade. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks 🙂

[@tomaindow]

Hey Google triggered my phone 😅

[@veilaeququw5560]

Lol that Yellow makes it a no go for me

[@veilaeququw5560]

Weird decision to mess with liner colors, since they are supposed to fit in any skate

[@LocoSkates]

Remember the Intuition V.2 liners though?

[@jaylow759]

@@veilaeququw5560 What colors? Only about 1-2 cm will stick above cuff, so all you will see is a black liner with tiny lime rectangle on top of tongue. A dealbreaker really...

[@Alex_P_19]

Would love an update now you've had a chance to skate these How would it affect the fit of the twister? Ive read good things about the twister liner but would the nomad liner change the fit?
