Heat Molding Information
Heat Molding can make the difference between a boot that feels just OK, and one that fits like Cinderella's glass slipper. It will not change the length of a boot so make sure you have the right size before you start molding! If the size is correct but you have some trouble spots, click on your boot's brand below to find out how to gain better performance through a customized fit and feel.
Note: Make sure that your boots are heat moldable by checking the "Specs" tab of the product description. Not all boots offered by the brands below are heat-moldable. Attempting to heat mold a non-moldable boot will cause irreversible damage.
