Baller bigskieridaho Posted May 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2017 Just got a new Vapor Boot and wondering if I should heat mold it first or ski on and then decide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted May 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2017 How does it feel when you put it on. If it feels ok go ski. If it feels snug heat mold it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted May 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2017 Heat mold it. It's not that hard and it certainly won't hurt. Horton just reposted a howto video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted May 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2017 Keep in mind, the new boots will feel a bit stiff regardless. Give them about 5-7 sets before they really get comfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ESPNSkier Posted May 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2017 Go with the Heat molding as it will give you a better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cragginshred Posted May 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2017 Just pour very warm water over it on the dock with foot in the boot -according to a recent conversation with a rep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegile Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I did mine with the hot water shower. Slightly uncomfortable putting my foot in, but worked great. You are going to love them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cragginshred Posted May 2, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2017 @Texas6 are you talking about the Carbitex or the Vapor boots? Carbitex is even stiffer than the regular Vapor -dreading that break in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Texas6 Posted May 3, 2017 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2017 @cragginshred - referring to The Vapor boot. I've had several pairs and they are still my favorite system hands down. But they are stiff at first, rub on the high sides of the shin and ankle until they break in a bit. Once broken in, they are like my favorite pair of shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
