Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Heat moldable liners - how hot to shape them?
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I've just seen the thread re: the heat moldable liners that you can plug in. It made me think. When I had my boots fitted the chap stuck them on the heater and then I wore them while they cooled. However, whilst nicely toasty warm they were no what I'd call excessively hot. When you wear the boots with their big thick liners, your own socks and all the exercise that you take I would think that your feet get quite hot anyway. Is the initial heat up in the shop more than you own feet would do, or continue to do once you use them?

Megamum, Most of the time, the heating process in the shop, is to accelerate the bedding in process, by softening the liners through heat, allowing them to conform to your foot shape. the liners will, after skiing the boots for a few days, the liners, pack out naturally, but without the heat the process this would take longer. There are a very few boots however that must have the heat process to mould the liners, Technica hot form, for example.

I have Zip liners and their website says that you can stick them into the micro for about 1min (if I remember correctly) but you need to be very careful as you can easily destroy the liner!!!! Heating them might be very nice on extra cold days as then the feet will not get cold so quickly. On other days the heat generated by sweaty feet and their movement will be sufficient to mould the material and increase its flow to the right areas in the liner. The material retains its mouldable properties even when its very cold..
