[AlpenDude]

couldn't find it in a search. what is the temperature for heating up new thermoflex liners to?

[Sphinx]

Heat oven to 350.

Turn oven off.

Put aluminum foil over elements.

Put liners on COLD rack.

Bake for about 10 minutes.

you will need a helper and a convection oven to start with

Fitting intuition Boot Liners at Home

Remove factory liner from ski boots.
Heat the Conformable liner in an oven to 210F for 12 minutes. Shield the liners from direct heat with foil.
Place the footbed under the users foot and place a stretchy sock over the footbed & foot to hold it in place. Add any padding around the forefoot, if you want wiggle room. Hold together with cloth tape, if required.

The next 4 steps need to be done without interruption.

A) The liner is now heated to 210F. Place the foot/footbed, as a unit, in the liner.
B) With a helper holding the shell open, insert the liner/footbed/foot in the shell.
C) Buckle the boot a little more loose than normal.
D) Pull up on the back of the liner while gently flex the boot a little until the heel is deep in the heel pocket.
E) Tighten the buckles to a tight fit (tighter will pack the liner out more giving you more room later)
F) let everything cool for 20 minutes with minimal body movement.

avoid twisting of the liner by using a helper to open the shell wide.

I have fitted at least three pairs of thermos at home, alone, without a convection oven. I have been very happy with the results. YMMV.

Tape your footbeds to your feet so they don't shift, and use a slick plastic bag (like Safeway grocery bags) rather than thin socks. The bag is much slicker than a sock, making it easier to get into the hot liner.
