skategoat Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have a pair of Indys, size 27.5 shell but the stock thermofit liner seems to have been molded around some smaller feet. When I put my foot in, my toes are bunching up. If I heat these up, jam my foot in and buckle up, will they actually expand around a bigger foot?

bobdea Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 as long as there is room is the shell sizing right on? if so then no worries, toss that liner in the oven and have at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Houghton Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Henry - follow Dave's cooking advice on his website, and build in some extra space for your toes with toecaps or something before you cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 whoa hold on! he said "stock thermofit" so if youre talking about the stock deeluxe liner, not the "HPT" or whatever...DO NOT put them in the OVEN! the only part of those that is moldable is the lower part, inside. Pretty sure they should only be molded using heat stacks. also, I think its only the heel area, not the toes, that molds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Here are my liners. They look one piece to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 youre good. those are fully moldable. thermoflex. thermo"fit" is the stock deeluxe liner. Looks more like a skiboot liner and is only moldable around the heel area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishboardracer Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I had a similar problem a couple of years ago when I got thicker footbeds. The guy in Surefoot advised against remolding the liner as he said it would shrink even more. Dont know if this is right or not. Mike.

bobdea Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 too small, if you over heat them I can see them shrinking allot the surefoot guy needs to stick to what he knows and that is footbeds what does happen is they don't expand as much and get a little less plyable each time for toe room use a toe cap, this can easily be made out of a couple wool socks I've had a few pairs and remolded one of them 7 or so times, this set is nearly dead, only had them since '02 the biggest problem with remolding many times is that if you have a low volume foot the liner may not puff up enough to fill in the gaps for a nice tight fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishboardracer Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Yeh I do have very low volume feet, so maybe he thought they would not puff up enough where i need it. I have new boots and liners now so all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
