Both this one and the Wayne Ritchies option have a 6 flex tongue, that's a bit on the soft side. I'm saying this because my old Raichle's are exactly the same as your pair, just 4 sizes smaller! I now ski in Dalbello's, however my son is in Full Tilts and loves them. The wider last descendent versions.

From memory the classic shell of a FT is a mm in a Which would be more equivalent to a Safe to say a The intuition liners will be fine, they will not have broken down at all, but be warned Without proper decent heat moulding intuition liners suck.
