Dear NS, well i bought a new pair of salomon spk kreations the other day online and just got em. they are my mondo size but they fit a little tight because of the extra cushoning. The question i have is will the padding mold to my feet after i ride with them a little bit?

Thanks NS

Take them into a reputable shop and have it done right, as this is arguably the most important part of your set up. Your feet will thank you.

Honestly just wait till they get packed in then you will really know if the boot is too small, DON'T just go get them heat molded them before you have ever tried them on the slopes.

Wait, why? Wouldn't heat molding just make them more comfortable?

why not? if he gets them correctly heat molded, they will be pre-broken in and more comfortable earlier on (assuming they are the correct boot for him). If done properly, there won't be a downside to heat molding before skiing them.

I get a new pair of SPK Pro's every season and they pack out quite a bit in a short time... So no worries if they feel slightly small at first. Heat molding will not only get it done quicker, it'll feel like a foot orgasm every time you ride.
