You don't...a shop that sells full tilts, or any other boots with intuition liners does.

If you can't find a shop/get to a shop you can just wear them around the house for a few hours and they'll mold that way too...it's not as precise as getting them molded by a shop.

Yeah the whole heat mold thing is just speeding up the process that would naturally happen if you just wear/ski in your boots for a while. So heating them up isn't actually necessary. The bootfitter at my shop where I got y FT's from actually told me that its better to just ski in them a few times while they get broken in, so that the molding actually forms to the shape of your foot while you are skiing.

I've had mine for about 10 days on the hill this year so far and they have molded beautifully without ever sticking them in a heater.

Go to shop they put um in a heater thing, slip um on your feet, chill for about 8 minutes, badaboom badabing your boots are molded to your feet, after doing this i would suggest wearing them a bit mine started out a little bit too tight now they are very nice on the feet

This is not as true with intuition liners, heat molding them makes a world of difference. Look it up on google or tgr there is stuff out there, but you can put them in the oven at around 240 degrees and about 10 minutes, but find specific instructions cause its pretty crucial to do it perfect.

I used pam to slide in without creasing them and it worked perfect.

Ya its a noob question. I don't put shit in gear talk because well theres like activity over there.

I just got my first pair of Tilts and i was just wondering. I'll ski in them a couple days and see it they work, if they feel like they could use some improvement i'll get them heat molded at a shop

Don't listen to them! Any competent do-it-yourself'er can do it at home no problem and if you read the thread on tgr and follow it closely it will come out just as good as a shop, if not better because a lot of the time the shops don't heat them enough if you don't have a trustworthy bootfitter.

2. put both boots on your feet
3. set on fire
