Tried this today, boots were nice, definitely the right size, but super uncomfortable and hurt my feet. Now that they’re molded, it’s a perfect fit and I’ve never worn anything more comfortable ever. I’m so stoked to hit the mountain this weekend!

How much rice did you put in your socks

I bought some 2nd hand Burton boots with the Inspire 2 inners and they were so tight around my toes even though they were the right size. I thought my feet had gotten bigger or that these boots weren't true to size. Did your tutorial and the difference is night and day. Toes feel a lot more comfy and have wiggle room. Looking forward to hitting the mountain next weekend and giving these boots another try. Some tips I'd like to share having just done this tutorial. Get a small paper cup and cut out the bottom. Use the cup to funnel the rice into your tube socks. So much easier. I had trouble getting the socks to get right into the toes of the inners because of the rigidity of the boot. Decided to remove some rice from the socks and take out the inners from the boot and push the socks deep into the inners so it was flush with the toe area as this was where my main issue was. I left the inners out of the boot for 10 mins while the rice was in them and then put the inners back into the boot. The only issue with doing it this way is that the inners are so soft and mouldable that you might have trouble getting the inner in the boot. In the end I put on the inner first and then sliped both my foot and inner into the boot. Hope the above helps someone and thanks again for the tutorial.

This video is awesome. This technique worked perfectly for me and I can tell a huge difference. Using an infrared thermometer worked really well for me. I tried to heat the rice between 140° - 170° F

I just picked up a pair of the same boots! (newer version) They are very tight where the top of the foot meets the ankle so I'm hoping some heat molding will alleviate that a bit.

I tried this on my Women's Burton Felix Boa Snowboard Boot. It seems to have worked but will test the boots this Sunday and see how they feel. Reused the sock filled with rice for both boots. A tip for a woman's boot - put rice in a smaller sock for the toe room. The big sock will not drop in to the far end of the toe edge.

Just bought some new thirtytwos...huge difference after doing this. Thanks dude

Great Info! First I didn't even know my boots are "heatmoldable" (Burton Photon). First I bought the boot to big, I could return it and the smaller one was just hurting all over the place on my first day riding... After heat molding with this method the boot fits perfect! Thanks a lot! Saved my feet!! :) Extra Note: The ricesocks are great to put around your neck when having a stiff neck ;)! Thanks

I know this is an old video but I'll ask anyways: the microwave chart is very nice but is it possible to know what temperature should the rice reach? Instead of risking overheating the liners, a quick reading with an IR thermometer could insure that the correct temp has been reached. Any way to know what temperature to aim for?

Practice putting a sock full of rice in your boot before heating it. you don't want to try it for the first time with hot rice. It will be cold before you get the technique down.
