Boot help

I recently bought k2 revolver pros for like 300 bucks on evo. When I put the boot on it fits around my heel and foot pretty perfect, but i can't seem to get the tongue to lay flat and I have a harder time buckling the top buckle around my calf. Keep in mind everything is set to the loosest setting to get the buckles to clip. Will there be more room when I get them heat molded? also how much would boot fitting work, mostly a heat mold, cost? And I know everyone will just say buy at the shop and then you won't have to worry about price and it fitting good; but, it was kind of a impulse stupid buy because they were so marked down. as of right now I don't really have money for any full price boot so if i could avoid returning them that would probably be best. thanks for the help

make sure your wrap liner isn't folder over itself down lower at the tongue

You can DIY heat mold your liners at home. Especially if you have a good quality convection oven. Check out how to videos on YouTube. You can even do the rice in a sock method with just a microwave, some dry uncooked rice and a thin pair of ski socks.

Heat molding the liners will help a lot with the fit and is well worth doing. Shops will charge anything from about $20-50 but its worth doing. Have them assess the fit first to ensure the cables are long enough, if they are too short you can easily switch them out an you want to do this before you mold them. Can you get to an Evo store? If you can they will probably help you out free of charge as you bought the boots from them.

There’s an evo in Seattle. They will do your book work for free as mentioned above. Got my boot from them online as they were the only ones who had my size. When I got out there a few months later they heat molded my liner, and ground a couple spots for me free of charge.
