How to soften/form "flat" binding toe piece?

[surfinagin]

Getting grand kids into skiing, want them to have the best experience to stick with it.

To allow them to ski double, bought O'Brien Jr. Celebrity Combo off Amazon-

Toe pieces are stiff/flat -not enough "curl" to comfortably form to top of foot.

Stuffed rags in bindings to form toe piece to proper shape.  Hope with time this works.

Any better ideas?  Is there a rubber conditioner or other product that would help?  Heat?

Thanks for your time.

Heat gun and stuff something in it to stretch rubber toe loop

Thanks Deanoski-

Will try the heat gun while leaving the rags forming them in place
