Can new full tilts be vacuum molded?

I was at a shop the other day and saw the new full tilts have heat moldable shells. I have heard that other ski boots besides fischer's can be vacuum molded and was wondering if these could be vacuum molded.

No. They can be heat molded not vaccum molded.

Gotta use the crevice tool to get a good fit.

Heat mold them at home!! I put a bunch of rice in a sock then microwaved it for 3 mins until its nice and toasty. Then put the rice sock into the boot leaving it in for 5 mins. After that I took it out and put my foot into the boot with 2 pairs of socks on for quicker moulding, adjusted the clips to the settings that felt best and kept my foot in for 10 mins. Repeat for the other boot. It worked great for me. Btw I found this on either the Full Tilt or Intuition liner website

He's not talking about molding the liners.
