    thermoflex liners: bake 'em first?

    just got some flexons with the thermoflex liner. is it best to get them baked before i ski in them, or should i ski a couple of days and then get them fitted.

    thanks

    If you can get them in your boot and get your foot in without baking them then your shell is waaayyyy too big. Short answer is above and shorter still is yes.
    It's not so much the model year, it's the high mileage or meterage to keep the youth of Canada happy

    figured as much as they were nearly impossible to jam in there without it

    I started out the season on a new pair, fitter suggested I try them without baking since I could get in - barely. I have the skinniest of skinny feet.

    4 runs, foot pain like no other. Ever.

    Baked 'em and they felt perfect, still unreasonably tight, but pain was more as expected from a new boot.

    My two: definitely bake 'em.
