What is the heat moulding feature of a ski boot liner for?

Some liners use so-called heat moulding foam padding. This means that the foam of the liner can be heated to conform to the shape of your feet and the shell of the boot. This improves the fit between the liner and the shell and creates more space for your foot, so that they are more comfortable.

I recommend that you ski with your boots for at least 2 days before deciding if you need to heat-mould them. Sometimes the foot just needs to get used to skiing again

How to heat-mould your liners?

1- Preheat the convection oven to 80°C.

2- Remove the liners from the shells.

3- Remove the insoles from your liners.

4- Put the liners in the oven for just 8 minutes.

5- Remove the liners from the oven.

6- Put the soles inside the liners.

7- Put the liners in the boots.

8- Put the boots on and fasten each hook on the middle setting.

9- Wait for 8 minutes at room temperature before taking them off.

You are ready to ski!

What is the flex?

To provide an indication of rigidity, brands assign a flex rating to every boot. This figure determines the rigidity of the whole boot: the higher its value, the stiffer the shell. It is generally considered that a flex of 70 is for average to intermediate level skiers. A flex from 70 to 90 is for intermediate skiers. Beyond this value, the products are aimed at advanced skiers. Well-built skiers can go up one level.

How do you try on ski boots?

Pull the tongue forwards and towards the outside of the feet: this allows you to fully open up the shell and facilitates foot entry.

How to make a ski boot more comfortable?

There are many options for making your foot more comfortable in a ski boot. A ski boot must be tight fitting. To improve the support, you can get soles that are tailored to the shape of your foot arch, volume reducers and heel boosters.

How to avoid having cold feet?

Although it is often forgotten, drying the liner is the most effective way to avoid having cold feet. Even at -10°C, the foot sweats and the liner cannot dry by itself in its plastic shell, even over several days. Ideally, you should remove it each day. There is the option to use boot dryers that are more convenient because there is no need to remove the liner, you just plug them in!
