Thermo-fit?

So I got some scratch boots, worn them about 10-15 times, I just noticed a tag that says "Thermo-fit liner".
Does this mean if you warm them up they fit to the foot better?
I already broke them in, they packed out pretty well, but would this thermo-fitting business make it fit even better?
Thanks, I'm sure Rossignol isn't even the only company to make these types of liners, either.

you can use a hair dryer and heat them up for few moments, without burning them... then put your feet in them, then buckle up, how you like them. leave feet in them for a few moments....should mold some what to your feet

Thanks, that's kinda what I thought it was.
Now, do you think it would still do something though? I mean, I've used them for a while, would it still make a difference?

thermo fit liner just means that it will naturally mold to your foot with the warmth of your feet and skiing in them. Theres no need to heat it with a blow dryer or anything.

dont do that.

too hot not  heated for long enougth
 thermo fit liners pratically mean packeing out for your feet right out of the shop after being thermo formed by heating
 after 3 days of skiing, you get teh same result.

New Question:

I dry my boots with the furnace vents at my house, but with these pipe things that blow the air into the boots. Would this reverse the "Thermo-fit" of the boot? Would it bounce back to its original fit a little?

Nah i use those at school because I don't have a heater in my dorm room.  I've never noticed a difference.  Thermo liners just kinda wear to your foot. They aren't intuition

K, thanks. I didn't think it would have made a difference.
