Anybody have any experience with molding their full tilt liners at home? And if so, how was it done?

full intuition liners have to get nice and toasty to work properly, this means you can do it in your oven at home.

set your oven for 200 degrees, pop the liners in for ten minutes, shove tham back in your boot and clamp the buckles down pretty lightly, stand still in them with your toes up on a book for 10-15 minutes or until they're completely cool.

done

dont put them in the oven, shops that know what they are doing dont put them in a boot oven for a reason, if you really want to do it at home the sock and rice is the best option and is the most similar to how you are supposed to do it.

For intuition liners, if you dont want to go to a shop, after like 2 weeks riding it will set in anyway... Heating just speeds up the process.

most shops will let you do it anyway... just pop in and ask to pop your liners on the blower. takes like 5 mins.. then 15 mins walking around with the boots clipped up

Pretty much this however don't walk aroun when molding boots as you may pack them out more then required. Spend 5 min only flexing them no other movement. After the initial 5 min you can walk around.

I'd go with the rice sock method, since that's what intuition reccomend. For more info take a look on their site, they've got full home fitting instructions there.

Take hair dryer, 5 mins of blowing to the shoe (dont set too hot), and then put the boot on, and stand or walk. Do same with second boot.

What I do is try them on, figure out where is going to need some love and spot heat them. I have used a hair dryer but rice bags also work well when used in increments. It lets you dial in the problem areas without packing out your whole liner, which I like breaking in over time a little better personally.

or another tip - just get them to basically any shop, which sells ski boots, and they will do that for free.

Most shops will and should charge you for doing this (fair price is about $40) since you are asking a trained employee to do it correctly for you. A good shop will ensure that the process is done correctly and if anything does go wrong they are therefore responsible for fixing/replacing the product.

Would you expect a professional car mechanic to install a part on your car that you bought somewhere else for free? Or a bike shop to do the same? No, of course not.

Your free option: do it at home, with the risk of damaging your liner and/or doing it incorrectly.

Not free option: paying someone a small free to ensure that it gets done professionally and properly.
