This thread should be seen as an accompaniment to the "How To Buy Ski Boots" thread, more specifically aimed at solving a problem with your existing ski boots. Rather than clog up Gear Talk with countless repeating threads, please dump your boot-fitting related questions here and we will do our best to help you out.

Remember, nothing is a substitute for going to a real boot-fitter; they can see your foot, we can't. So if you can't get to a boot-fitter, or are frustrated with your current one, we can help point you in the right direction. Try to be as descriptive of your problem as possible and post pics if you can. The more information we get from you, the more successful we will hopefully be in helping you out.

Ready, set, go.

treebeardI also have a Head boot with the liquid fit liner. Its been a few years but I'm almost positive I remember the shop guy saying you can't heat mold the liner after they've pumped in the liquid. Something with either the liquid itself, or maybe the little port for inserting the syringe can melt, either way they said don't do it


That makes sense, I already have the wax pumped into the liners glad I held off on heat molding with the oven.



I wore thinner socks and they've packed out now and are feeling great.
