Hi, i´m from Spain and I have a little problem with my boots now.

I have a 09 konflict boots and until now they were perfect except of some pain in my external muscle of the leg (in spanish it´s called tibial). Nothing important...

But one month ago y hurt myself and my unkle went broken... all, the ankle with tibia and perone. Now it has a different shape and the question is:

¿Should I mold my liner? like that, ¿¿should the pain disappear and my ankle go better than if I don´t mold them???

woah you've got a decent amount of metal there. if i doesn't fit well anymore then I guess you should give remolding a shot. maybe a bootfitter might be able to help.

I haven´t really put on my boots since i had the injury as I have my ankle like a skiingboot even without puting it on... So i´m just trying to know if there´s a big difference between mold or not mold them, and if for my situation it will be good or if i´m not going to notice the change...

I hope when i put on my boots they fit me well, but i´m not sure.... let´s wait, if all goes correctly i´ll go Colorado in february until june!!!!

A boot-fitter is a trained person who helps make your boots fit better. This person will help assess your situation and would also be the one to re-mold your liners. For some reason, Europe does not have lots of these people like the States or UK or Japan. Europe is weird like that sometimes...

UK is Europe!!!! hahaha!!!

Thanks, now i know it! ok, i should go, just that here in spain it´s not so easy to find a good worker who knows abouts this shit and they will just mold me the boot a little bit and try to sell me everything they have in their shop, even girl underwear if they can.... This is Spain...

Ok, if anybody knows anything I should do, just tell me, i will try it... I´m going to try to put my boots on, let´s see if i can...

Thank you everyone!
