Hi,

I'm a new owner of Head Stratos Pro boots

On the head stratos pro liner it is mentioned: 10 min 90-100 C Tube heat machine

Does that mean we can only do it in ski shop ?

Or can we mold the head liner like the raichlee ones in the oven or use a heat gun ?
Thanks

The stock liner is only heat moldable in the heel area. I don't think you want to stick them in your oven ... not sure about the heat gun thing.

I molded my Dalbello liners (same as head - that's where Heads come from) with a hair dryer! Toe area is also moldable.
When blowing heat into the liner, be carrefull not to burn the inner lining material.

Only the lower part is heat moldable so putting them in the oven would probably be a bad idea. Mine were done at a shop using one of their heat tubes. I suspect you could accomplish the same thing with a hair dryer, but not positive.
