Yes, it is easy. You let the oven preheat to about 150F. Place the liners on a cold cookie sheet. The key is to turn the oven off and then palce the liners in the oven for ten minutes. Then put the liners in the shells and buckle them down tight.

I also place my shells in boiling water to stretch them also. I heat the water up on the stove and then pour into the kitchen after it boils and then put the shell in the sink for about 7-8 minutes. Take them out and replace the liner and buckle down and alllow them to cool.

What boot and liner combo do you have? If it's premolded in the boot (FT or Dalbello) find a shop that molds Intuition liners. Throw them some $$$ and a six pack and I'm sure they'll hook you up.

If Not,
Do it on thanksgiving day while you have the turkey in.

you can put your shells in boiling water with no problem...water boils at 100degC, the melting point on ski boot plastics is around 140deg.

Hard to find a pot big enough. That is why I fill the sink with the hot water and then put the shells in the water. Those large pots are very expensive.

I almost added that point...but got tired of hearing myself type. A number of shops have the old school crock pots that are large enough for 1 boot at a time...Footloose in Mammoth has 2 or 3 that they keep on all the time.

Just be careful when you put the liners back into the boot... very gently so as not to make an accidental "form" and also be careful not to "crease" the liner when you slide your foot in. The first time I did it very successfully but the second time I did it, I F'd up and had to rebake which was problematic as these things can only get baked so many times, especially after they have been warn a bunch. For my new boots, I am considering taking the boots to a shop to have the liners done since they can heat the liner inside the shell and it doesn't get quick as "floppy".

The liners are already inside the boots I assume? You can ski them the way thay are and find a shop that works with Intuition liners, give them a bag, or a six pack and a few bucks and get the job done right.

It takes 220 on the inside to make it crispi.
