Remolding liners and new footbeds

So my problem is with my 28.5 il Moro t from last year. I am 6'4" 170 and like the way they feel it's just when they warm up my foot is moving a bit. Everyone would tell me to try a smaller boot but I don't want to give up on these just yet. The length since my foot is weird (narrow but long) so the 28 feels ok. The problem with a smaller boot is that the cuff isn't the same height as the 28 so the support bothers me. I bought these boots used so the liners that were in were molded to someone else. My question is mainly would heat molding these liners to my foot make these snug? And would a new insole help make it tighter as well? Thanks guys

Let's just say that the shell works well for your foot. You will definitely want to get footbeds FIRST and then heat mold the liners. Depending on how many days are on the boots, the liners might not mold all that well to you and you might need to get new liners to really make a difference.

The footbed will be a really crucial part in making the entire system function properly. Make sure you do that.

This! Footbeds really help support the foot and keep everything tight. Without one your foot can/probably will pronate and or supinate(Explains why boots can sometimes feel too short, wide and or ankle issues etc.) Not having one will basically throw your foot out of "alinement".

That being said, your liner!...Well, it can only get bigger, so a new liner may be in order. Liners should feel too small at first because once they pack out it offers a snug BUT comfortable fit. But as always, bring it into a shop and they'll help you out. Best of luck!
