Timbobaggins, you need to go to a bootfitter.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Timbobaggins, the heat fit in the lienr is a standard thing which boot manufactures put on the boots to help with the break in, there are a coupler of options
1 take them to your friendly bootfitter who will charge you a few ££ to mould them up for you
2 wear them lots before you go skiing and hope that the lienr will mould a bit to your feet
the liner of the edge is pretty cushy so having it moulded will definately help with the comfort in the outset, but generally a few days skiing will do the job.... if they feel tight around the toes (which they should when new) then it is best to have them heated and wear toe caps while they are cooling to create a bit of extra space

CEM there's also option #3, but it's not for those with weak heart 
Until now I never molded any heat moldable things anywhere else then in my own kitchen oven. It sure sounds crazy, but it actually works. I did this with ski boot liners, with 800eur ice skates, skates for roller hockey etc. Everything worked until now, and I never destroyed anything  Afterall if you look good, those "special" ovens are not much more then heater with ventilator But it takes a bit experience to get right temperature and right time to heat particular boot or skate. I learned to do this in my serviceman time on WC, when you just don't have all those fancy things with you.
But then again, I don't want to suggest these things to anyone, since I don't want to be responsible for someone burning their 500eur worth boots So I actually agree... if you paid few 100eur for boots, it's not all that much money to pay someone who knows what he is doing to heat them for you.
