2. Molding Liners
The liner comes pre-formed and may be used as is without any additional fitting. Over time they will adapt to your foot
and become more comfortable. However, to get the best fit and the most performance we recommend that you have
your liners custom fit by a professional boot fitter. The liner foam used in La Sportiva liners is thermoformable. Always
have your La Sportiva liners thermoformed by an authorized La Sportiva dealer or a knowledgeable professional boot
fitter. We recommend using only air blowing heat tower systems, also known as stack heaters (not convection ovens).
Remove the foot bed and any laces during heating of the liner for thermoforming. Heat the liners up according to the
directions above. Take one liner off of the heat tower at a time. Put your foot bed in the liner making certain that it is
properly centered. Put your foot in the liner. Step into the shell with the liner on your foot making certain to keep the
liner as straight as possible. Carefully position the liner in the shell in the correct position eliminating wrinkles being
careful not to pull too hard on the foam, as the liner is fragile when heated. Do not pull on the webbing pull straps
during the molding/fitting process. Now, pull up gently on the backside of the liner and work your heel up and down
in order to make sure the heel is perfectly seated in the heel pocket. Buckle the shell medium tight, flex your ankles to
set your foot in the boot properly, and then lock the boot into SKI MODE. Stand in both boots in a relaxed ski position
(knees bent) while the liners cool for 10 minutes minimum. Elevating your toes by standing on a piece of 2 X 4 (50 X
100 mm) wood will help improve the fit in the heel pocket. If your liners have laces and you choose to use them, wait
to install them until the liners have thoroughly cooled (30 minutes or more out of the plastic shells). Use the supplied
round adhesive patches to cover the rivets on the inside of the boot. This will protect the liners from abrasion damage
and help them last longer.
