I have never had boots that fit my foot perfectly,so for my new pair I plan on doing it correctly, I went to a boot fitter and they told me that the shell was the correct size and that my toes should be touching the front and then they pull away when I get into the "skiing position" so the boots I tried on fit perfectly, accept my toes were sort of jammed up against the front, not to the point where they curl but pushed pretty hard, I know that they will pack out but I guess I am just wondering if that means that they fit properly or they are too small, also they have intuition liners if that matters with the whole heat molding process and packing out and whatnot
 
Dont heat them up. Let them pack out naturally. As for me, my toes were a little jamed when i got mine. They ended up packing out perfectly. I do understand that everyone is different though. I buy my boots one to two sizes too small and let them pack out perfectly. Depends on the boot also. My spk's packed out awesome. Not too sure how my Nordicas will though. Dont know if thaat helped
 
excellent, thats exactly the answer I was looking for, because I really like these full tilts and I can get the hook up on them, so whats your take on heat molding intuition liners? let them pack like that other guy said or heat fit?
 
I just got a pair of these as well and they are great. with the intuition liner, heat molding them or not won't be a big deal either way. the intuition liner doesn't pack out further as much as other liners do. If you want to pack them out skiing them yourself, it will just take a little longer that's all
 
Just wear them around the house for a day or so, they will pack out. I wore mine at my work at my desk for two days.
 
the intuition liners are MEANT to be heated. If you don't it defeats the purpose of them. If you have ever heated one up, seen it shrink, then inserted the footbed, and shaped it, you would know the benefits of doing this.
 
Most people will tell you that its better to heat them up, that's cause that is what they are told when you woek in a shop. It does break them down faster and you dont get as long of life out of them.
 
^What the hell? You do realize intutions are supposed to be heat molded right? Thesole purpose behind these liners is to provide a unique contoured fit for your foot that results from the foam becoming pliable after they are heated.
