Correct me if Im wrong, but I don't think CWB boots are moldable.

^^^ They aren't from my understanding

Well that would explain the lack of instruction on how to do it, wouldn't it?

Thanks.

fill up a bathtub with hot water with your boots on for 20 minutes. stand in one place out of the tub until the rubber cools down to room temp. that will mold the rubber.

While they aren't heat molded like some of the other bindings, they will respond to the hot water dousing. When I get new boots I always get the water as hot as I can stand and move my feet around and try and break in the rubber. Do that and by the 3rd ride they will be formed to your foot and comfy. Good choice on boots!

Will the Zues do the same thing? I am curious how the Zues fit versus the Answer. Does anybody have first hand experience with both?

yes the zeus will do the same as well. The zeus binding fit tighter and snugger, and are a "bit" more stiff. also the zeus has a higher cuff. If you have the 09 zeus i would suggest taking the toe stiffener out while you heat mold, but it can be a pain to get back in once its out.
