Heat Moulding

Do It Yourself

Preheat a convection oven to about 180F. Or a clothes dryer might also do the trick. Take the footbed out of the liners and the liners out of the boot and place them into the oven about five minutes apart so that you can fit one while heating the other.

Wear a thin pair of socks tightly over your feet and toe-cap (if you have one, see section below). Take the first liner out and put it into its boot. Slide your foot into the boot and stomp down on it before strapping up nice and tight.

Repeat with the other liner. Stand in your snowboard stance and then walk around in them for about fifteen minutes while they cool down.

Toe Caps

You may like to have a little bit of space for your toes to wiggle around in inside your boot to prevent them from feeling overly tight. For this reason, many riders prefer to wear toe-caps before molding their liners.

You can make a toe-cap out of anything which will give you some space inside your boot e.g. by using a thin sock or some cloth to wrap around your toes while you step into the warm liners to mold them.

Keep in mind that there is a limit to the number of times you should re-mold them as the amount of expansion with each attempt decreases to the point where they may become too thin. You should probably be able to get about four to six decent moldings depending on the quality of the material.
