Heating liners?

Not sure if 32 boots need heat molding.
Old ski boots, you heat the liner to about 135 degrees, then put on
the boots and walk around, to custom fit to your goofy feet (and mine).
New soft snowboard boots are softer than hiking boots, so don't need
much to stretch and alter. Just wear them around the house for 1/2
hour once, and it's broken in.
Problem will be, at your size, the boots will get almost too soft
after 25 days of riding.

I am stoked!
Just bought my first setup after a few years of ...yuck...renting.

Thirty-Two "Lashed" boots size 13
168 Burton "Canyon" board w/ Burton bindings

I am 6'3" 195lbs.

Anyway, I am now learning about owning and just found this board.

Would someone please explain to me the method of "heating" the liners
for a better fit? Of if it applies to these boots?

Thanks

They come with an Intuition heat-moldable liner. Your shop should have
molded them for you. If you bought them online or from a shop that's
clueless, here's some instructions online for how to do it:

I take it you didn't buy them in a shop? If you had, they'd have done
this while you were there, or should have. Find a friendly 32 dealer.
They'll have the heater and the special socks that'll give you the
right amount of toe room. They'll probably do it for free, so at least
buy something small from them in return.

While not discouraging you from molding, just go out for a day as is,
maybe you won't need any molding at all. I got two pairs of ThirtyTwo
boots (one soft, one stiff) and one is molded (stiff), the other one's not.
Just not worth the trouble, it fits well enough as is.

Depends if they fit or not. They do have heat moldeable liners, but if
they're nearly there, then best to ride with them to pack them out slowly.
Heating them just speeds up the process.
