I want to get them heat molded. Do i have to have a shop do it for me? and will it hurt the liner in any way?

forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that you can. The liner isn't made to be heat molded. You can buy an intuition liner for it and heat mold that, I think the temperature for heat molding is something like 125 degrees, I can't remember - I know it was pretty hot and that a conventional boot warmer can't do it, but shops that do heat molding (any shop that carries Full Tilt or Dalbello Ill Morros should have a heat molder) would be able to do it if you can.

  • Liners – My Custom Fit Pro liner is heat-moldable for immediate customization and comfort from day one. // Oversize liner cushioning on toes provides extra padding of neoprene.

    • No they are definitely heat moldable.

    at my old shop we used to tell people that were in too much of a hurry to heat mold at our shop that you can take a hair drier and heat up the inside liner with that.

    i suppose it would work.

    but seriously, all heat molding does is make the boot break in faster. the spk is pretty comfy from the get go, so i wouldnt even bother. decreases the life of the liner. i didnt heat mold mine and in less than a week they were broken in.

    Then directly onto your foot.
    Within 12 seconds or else the entire process is ruined and must be started again.

    Though I would probably go to a ski shop to get it done just to be on the safe side.
