I think the problem is in part due to the liner being so thin. I use a
9mm Alpha and have never had this problem. I also use the liner direct
onto the skin and direct against the inside of the glass/acrylic socket.
I never have to use socks of any type, perhaps in part due to the
spring against volume changes the thicker liner affords.

The thicker liner is substantial and stable. The thicker liner also
requires no other liner supplement, such as Pelite. Friction with Pelite
plus a thin liner may be moving the Alpha. As for heavy activity, I
especially like my Alpha because it tends to stay with my skin better
than silicone or other liner materials.

I use alternately an Ossur Comfort Plus silicone liner. Much better than
the old, thin Iceross. It slides on my skin much quicker during sweaty
activities, but is fine otherwise. Hope this helps.
